Here’s my unedited 20 min @SecMayorkas interview. We cover:

- Domestic terrorism
- Migration increase and tent facilities
- Title 42 expulsions
- Deportation of Haitians
- Family separations
- Ending family and private ICE detention
- Replacing USBP chief nbcnews.com/video/nbc-news…
Here’s where you can watch the full interview on YouTube.
A day after Secretary Mayorkas told me in our interview that ICE detention is “not where a family belongs,” in court filing, ICE said it is effectively ending use of family detention. Read more, from @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
.@SecMayorkas led a delegation to the border this weekend, days after we spoke. Here’s the readout:

Back at the border. Just wrapped a wide-ranging exclusive @NBCNews interview with @SecMayorkas about domestic terror, family separations, tent facilities, family detention, deportations, Title 42 and more. Will have the first clip on @MSNBC at 11AM ET. Hope you’ll tune in.
Yes, I cut my chin shaving.
On a potential criminal investigation of Trump officials as part of the Biden administration’s family separation reunification task force, @SecMayorkas: “Well, I-- I haven't excluded anything but what I'm focused on right now is reuniting the families.”

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.

It was a bicoastal 15K. My college roommate Barnett ran it too, on the opposite coast. A little warmer here in L.A. Image

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.
Latest, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
