NEW: DHS OIG investigation confirms what @JuliaEAinsley and I reported last summer for @NBCNews — that botched family reunifications left dozens of separated kids in vans overnight. This video is from the night we broke the story with @chrislhayes.
“DHS OIG confirmed that, as reported in the NBC News story, children brought to Port Isabel on July 15, 2018, waited extended periods — and in many cases overnight — to be reunited with their parents.”

Check out page 6 of DHS OIG's report. Data and a bar graph of how long it took to reunite the separated kids in vans once they arrived.
We had reported one child waited 39 hours -- they said that was the *minimum* wait time -- it could have been as long as 41 hours.

In “Separated: Inside an American Tragedy” I expand on our story and write about how, as kids sat in vans awaiting reunification, Commander Jonathan White testified in court in San Diego. Judge asked if reunifications would happen overnight.
