"New reporting reveals Trump administration officials intentionally separated migrant families. Broadcast and cable news largely ignored it. MSNBC was the only English-language network to devote substantial attention to the report." mediamatters.org/immigration/ne…

@NicolleDWallace

Here’s some of that reporting, with @NicolleDWallace, who always makes time on @DeadlineWH for developments in what is a story far from over. Kids are still separated.

@JoyAnnReid

I’m grateful, too, for @JoyAnnReid’s willingness to put family separations front and center. In this case it was minutes before our VP debate coverage.

NEW: Federal prosecutors who ran a 2017 family separation “pilot program” determined kids should be given a maturity test to confirm they could find their way back to parents on their own, DOJ memo obtained by @NBCNews says. With @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

"The analysis focused on whether the child was mature enough to be separated... agents were to determine whether the child could effectively communicate where they were from, where they lived, their address, where they were going to, who they were to meet.”nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

Despite this warning, hundreds of kids *under five* were separated in 2017 and 2018. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

There's a fly on his head.

It's still there.

Is it stuck?

Must-read. Confirms our @NBCNews reporting on the Stephen Miller-led Situation Room meeting where he demanded a show-of-hands vote to separate kids.

NEW: At the Arizona border, Native American activists and conservationists told me Trump is fulfilling his campaign promise to build a border wall.

The wall, dismissed by some as “replacement,” is destroying the environment and sacred sites, they say.

@LaikenJordahl

“This notion that it's not new really takes away from the fact that this is ripping Arizona and the rest of the borderlands in two,” @LaikenJordahl of @CenterForBioDiv told me in front of an example of old vehicle barrier next to “replacement” wall.

@OrganPipeNPS

“As far as him failing, no, he didn't fail... he's building the wall... he’s doing exactly what he said he would do,” said B, an Indigenous activist of O’odham Jawed as we overlooked Quitobaquito Springs in @OrganPipeNPS. Its water level has dropped during construction.

@ElectProject

JUST IN: 2 million votes have *already* been cast in the 2020 election, 10 times more than this time in 2016, per @ElectProject. That’s something to celebrate if you care about democracy. Remember: FBI says there’s no wide scale voter fraud. @3rdHourTODAY
