A former DOJ official tells us "the most important thing from this is the very deep premeditation and intentionality for the entire family separation effort regardless of known harm that would come to parents and children... cruelty was the intent." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Important: this report could provide a road map for the incoming Biden administration to investigate those responsible for the policy President-elect Joe Biden called "criminal" to @kwelkernbc and told @GeoffRBennett his DOJ will investigate. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
"The Trump Administration will forever be known for its cruelty," said @BennieGThompson in response to the report.
