NEW: I first met Anna, a U.S. citizen, and her undocumented mom at start of Trump admin. Checked in with them as she gets ready to graduate HS. They feel safer, but worry border politics could hurt her folks' chance at citizenship under Biden, leaving them at risk of separation.
Anna and her family will share more of their story tomorrow on @MeetThePress Reports, streaming Thursday at 8PM ET on @NBCNewsNow and available on demand Friday on @peacockTV.
Anna tells me she’ll be watching President Biden’s address to Congress tonight.
"If you don’t like my plan, let’s at least pass what we all agree on." That line in Biden's speech is exactly what worries Anna's family -- politics blocking legislation that would give her parents a pathway to citizenship and prevent their family from being separated for good.

Thank you @chrislhayes for drinking recycled Los Angeles toilet water with me tonight, and thank you @LACitySAN and @LADWP for giving us a taste of the future — one where climate change doesn’t threaten our water supply. #EarthDay on.msnbc.com/32CuqPC
More details here, if you’re interested. ladwp.com/cs/idcplg?IdcS…

NEW: A climate change fueled
“megadrought” is putting L.A.’s water supply at risk, and the city has a plan to become “water independent” — by recycling wastewater. Whether you call it toilet-to-tap or showers-to-flowers, I drank it. Delicious. #EarthDay
Cheers, everybody. It’s actually remarkable to see the advanced process — micro-filtration, reverse osmosis, and UV disinfectant. Loved doing this story and learning more. I hope you’ll watch.
True, but only after some advanced cleaning by the good people of @LACitySAN!

Forgive my dad-wear, but tomorrow on @TODAYshow and @MSNBC I’ll be live, back at this spot, for #EarthDay. Any guesses where?

Here’s a clue: we’ll take you inside one city’s ambitious plan to prevent running out of water in the face of climate change.
Another clue.
It is not a waterslide, no.

NEW: Biden DOJ refuses to release key Trump documents about family separations. Among the unreleased documents is the agenda from a May 2018 meeting that included a show of hands vote by Trump officials on whether to separate families. With @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
In requesting documents, lawyers representing separated families argued materials could show the officials intentionally sought to inflict emotional harm on the children and parents they separated. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
The Biden administration did agree to hand over some documents, largely by unredacting previously redacted material. But DOJ argued in the filing that the government must protect the right of the government to keep certain planning documents confidential. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

BREAKING: According to a federal court filing tonight, parents of 445 kids separated at the border by Trump admin still have not yet been reached. Lawyers searching have made contact with parents of 61 kids since their last filing, when parents of 506 kids hadn’t been reached.
Of those who haven’t been reached, lawyers believe parents of 302 kids were deported, parents of 129 are somewhere in the United States and 
parents of 14 (down from 16) have contact information that has not yet been provided by the government to the lawyers. (h/t @JuliaEAinsley)

NEW: President Biden’s family separation task force has identified 5,600 “yet-to-be-reviewed” files for evidence of additional family separations under the Trump administration, according to a senior DHS official who briefed reporters on the progress of the task force today.
“We found the list we had when we came in was not comprehensive and included large timeframes that had not been reviewed,” official said.

New files are from ORR, between January 20, 2017 and July 2017, time period not included in the lawsuit filed by ACLU against Trump admin.
Approx. 2,800 families were separated during Trump's “zero tolerance” policy, and lawyers said more than 1,000 had been separated prior to the policy’s implementation. The official said new files may reveal “a few additional families” who have not yet been identified.
