Miles Taylor still lying about his role in separations. He was part of Nielsen’s team BEFORE she signed the decision memo in early May. If he‘d have stopped her, thousands parents wouldn’t have been referred for prosecution and their kids wouldn’t have been traumatized for life.
NEW: Biden/Harris releases new ad, "Separated," which says "on his first day as President, Joe Biden will issue an Executive Order creating a federal task for to reunite [still-separated] children with their parents." via @MariannaNBCNews
A current government official involved in the reunifications of thousands of children separated by Trump responds: “Those of us who worked to prevent the family separation policy from taking place, and then did whatever we could to reunify children..."
"... are eager for a chance to do more. That could be possible under an Administration that shares our belief that family separation is immoral and cruel. If a Biden Administration task force is created, there are experienced feds who’ll stand up immediately to volunteer.”
Miles Taylor was a critical part of the team that decided to separated thousands of migrant kids from their parents, resulting in lifelong psychological trauma. He would like you to believe otherwise.
This is the way Miles Taylor talked about family separation LAST WEEK ("It's horrible. But...") when news broke parents of 545 separated kids still cannot be located. He later deleted the tweet.
“On multiple occasions I sat within inches of Miles Taylor during meetings solely focused on zero tolerance policy, and he was neither silent nor vocally opposed to the weighty decisions before us.”
I was one of the reporters Trump said he "brought" to see family separations. He, and he alone, systematically separated thousands of children -- "torture" per @P4HR and "government sanctioned child abuse" per @AmerAcadPeds after they were warned it would damage kids for life.

Trump never answered @kwelkernbc's question about how he'll reunite them because he doesn't have a plan. Worse, right now they couldn't if they wanted to. They cannot be reached, because their record keeping was so shoddy.
Wrong, Chase. I literally talked to one of those families on Monday — 8 year old in CA (taken from his dad when he was 6) and father in Honduras trying to reunite — and will have audio of that interview on @NicolleDWallace’s show momentarily.
It cannot be possible @SpoxDHS is unaware there’s a status hearing tomorrow in the family separation case and the Trump admin and the ACLU are planning on discussing reunifications of still-separated families, can it? Who wrote this statement?
