NEW: Doctors say the Trump administration irreversibly traumatized thousands of families separated at the border. Hundreds are still unreachable. We went inside @SenecaTPMF’s effort to track them down and offer mental health services for @NBCNightlyNews.
This search would have started far sooner had the White House not killed a settlement agreement to fund @SenecaFOA's efforts, as we exclusively reported. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
To learn more about Seneca's search for the families, and the challenges they face, read this great report from @brittny_mejia. latimes.com/california/sto…
Earlier today a Biden transition official declined to say if the Seneca's contract would be extended.

I hung out in Vegas with @kasie once in 2016 as Road Warriors. Now she's letting me fill in on @WayTooEarly Wednesday morning.

⏰ SET YOUR ALARM/DVR. 12/23. 5AM ET. ⏰

I don't expect @KatyTurNBC to pop her head in like this -- but we could try cold FaceTiming? #WayTooEarly
Also, before you ask, yes, I petitioned to change the name of the show to "Way Too Late" for a day, since I'm out here in Los Angeles. They said no.
Still haven't figured out what time is the best time to nap before the show.

Make no mistake: he is not me and I am not him. But I did drive @jakeclevine in high school carpool.
And before he tells you, yes, I rear-ended @arimoin's brother one morning, for which I am still very sorry.
In late-breaking news, my mom also informs me she thought @jakeclevine was me at first.

"[Family] separation stands in for every other episode of cruelty, and transcends them all. 'We’ve been declared in some respects a state sponsor of child abuse by friends overseas,' John R. Allen, a retired four-star Marine Corps general... told me." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
"The immediate charge to the commission would be to do everything possible to find the hundreds of displaced children and unite them with their families—which even before the election Biden promised to do." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
"The further task would be to document, step-by-step, the process by which the president and his officials were able to put this policy of sanctioned kidnapping into place. Separating children from their parents doesn’t simply occur by executive fiat." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

"The father was very distrustful and very surprised that I had his name," Sanchez recalled. "It was very hard for him to fathom why somebody would be looking... to find out what had happened to him after he was separated or to ask if he needed help." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
"Immigrant advocates... hope that under the incoming Biden administration there could be a third option: allowing deported parents to return to the U.S. to reunite with their separated children, something the Trump administration has refused to consider." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
"You know, it's been a long time, three years later, and someone comes along asking to find this person. So why would they trust them?" Caron said. "They feel deeply abandoned. They were deceived by the U.S. government. Their kids were taken away." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

BREAKING: Lawyers say Trump admin has handed over new data that will help reunite separated migrant families.

"Not only have they not been helping but they have been withholding this data forever," @ACLU's @leegelernt told @NBCNews.

With @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
NBC News reported in November parents of 666 kids had yet to be found, making the path to reunification difficult. Filing on Wednesday said some families have since been identified, bringing number of parents whose whereabouts are still unknown to 628. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
"We have been repeatedly asking the Trump admin... for any additional data they might have to help locate the families," said @leegelernt. "Unfortunately, it took the issue reaching the level of a presidential debate to move them to give us this data." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
