The Biden administration is trolling through thousands of records to make sure they have identified all of the children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border under Trump. They have found an additional 5,600 previously unreviewed files: reut.rs/3rYpPSa

@tedhesson

A DHS official said that the review of the files could yield only a few additional confirmed separations on top of the around 5,500 identified through litigation brought by the ACLU, but the first task is fixing misinformation and bad data in the government records w/ @tedhesson

also silly autocorrect! *trawling* through records not trolling ...

Lee Gelernt, the lead ACLU attorney in the family separation litigation, said on Wednesday his organization does not know how many children remain separated from parents, but he believed it was likely more than 1,000. So far Biden's task force has not done any reunifications.

NEW: In less than a week, two septuagenarians have died of COVID in ICE detention. This is the story of one of them: 72-year-old James Hill, a Canadian, was ready to finally return to his family after serving 14 years in prison. He never got the chance. reut.rs/3atmTFR

I was in contact with Hill’s family before he was hospitalized. For weeks, they had been trying (unsuccessfully) to push ICE to deport him to Canada, worried that the crowded conditions in the detention center in Virginia were too dangerous at his advanced age 2/7

Since April, ICE has had protocols to evaluate detainees who might be at a higher-risk of contracting COVID-19. Hill was transferred to Farmville detention center in Virginia, where he languished for months. ICE didn't respond to whether a risk assessment was done for Hill 3/7

NEW: NEW: We delve into how a new Trump immigration policy was supposed to help improve massive court backlogs, but is actually doing the opposite. With @kristinacooke and @readelev reut.rs/2UI5DFb

As of early September there are now more than 42,000 migrants that have been sent back to Mexico to wait out US court dates, but putting an international border between migrants and their hearings has lead to confusion and errors that have serious consequences for people’s cases

Despite the concerns the government is doubling down on the so-called “migrant protection protocols” - opening massive tents courts at two ports in Texas that could start hearing cases as early as this week
