Sessions saying reuniting families “turned out to be more of a problem than I think any of us imagined it would be” is preposterous given all the evidence showing senior officials across DOJ, DHS and HHS were warned about *exactly* what ended up happening.reuters.com/article/us-usa…
It’s incredible Sessions continues to try to hide from evidence of the deliberate cruelty of family separations. Here’s a conversation I had in October with @NicolleDWallace about the mountain of evidence showing they all knew what separations would do.
President Biden called family separations "criminal" at the debate with @kwelkernbc. He told @GeoffRBennett there would be a "thorough, thorough investigation" of the policy by his DOJ. So far, no official investigation has been announced.
Last month, AG nominee Garland called the separations “shameful” and said “I can’t imagine anything worse than tearing parents from their children.”

If confirmed he will be a member of the Biden admin’s family separation reunification task force.

There's justifiable concern over Biden opening HHS influx shelters. Even an HHS official told us "none of us want to open influx facilities." It's also important to understand how they relate to and differ from the Border Patrol facility I saw kids caged in during separations.
Here's our reporting -- with @JuliaEAinsley -- on Biden opening Carrizo Springs and the possibility of seeing more temporary influx shelters like it. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

BREAKING: In new court filing, lawyers say they still haven't reached parents of 506 children separated by Trump admin. Of the 506:

➡️ Parents of 322 kids were deported
➡️Parents of 168 are believed to be in the U.S.
➡️ There is no contact information for parents of 16 kids
The last time there was joint status report, in January ahead of Inaugration Day, parents of 611 children had not yet been reached. So lawyers have been able to make contact with parents of 105 kids who were separated by Trump since then.

I appreciate the sentiment but, for starters, five days ago live on national television I asked the lead sponsor of the Biden admin’s immigration bill about how it doesn’t eliminate immigration detention or 8 U.S. Code § 1325.
Here’s a discussion from earlier this month on whether there will be accountability for family separations under the Biden admin.
