NEW: Over 1,000 families remain separated after being torn apart by Trump at border. Good news: this week, Biden admin will help reunite four of them. Much more to do including "wraparound services" to help families heal, and potential investigation of criminality by Trump admin.
Here's our reporting on the first four reunifications, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Here's a thread from @SecMayorkas on the news.
And here's @MichelleBrane, the Biden family reunification task force executive director.

Thank you, Bryan, for sharing your story.
After three years, Bryan will be reunited this week with his mom, who was deported after they were separated by the Trump administration in 2017. Three other families will also be reunited this week. More in our latest reporting here, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Last night I mentioned to @maddow that Bryan, who was separated from his mom by Trump over three years ago and will be reunited this week, graduated HS early and just got a job working for a pro bono legal service provider for migrant kids. Here’s more details, from @ImmDef.

NEW: President Biden’s family reunification task force will reunite four families separated during the Trump administration this week, as more than 1,000 remain separated, according to @MichelleBrane, the task force’s exec director. With @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
"We are happy that the first four families will be reunified this week, but this is only the beginning of a very long process involving more than 5,500 children," @ACLU’s @leegelernt said. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
.@MichelleBrane said the task force is "looking into longer-term status" for the parents so they could remain and work in USA.

@SecMayorkas said, "We are continuing to identify families that were intentionally separated under the prior administration." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

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.

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.
