NEW: More than 2,100 children separated by Trump admin 'have not yet been reunified,' Biden task force says. Only seven children have rejoined their families since Biden took office earlier this year, and 29 more will "in the coming weeks," per report. nbcnews.com/news/all/more-…
A senior DHS official, in a call with reporters, blamed “numerous errors and misinformation” in data kept by the Trump administration for the cumbersome reunification process. “No comprehensive interagency system was in place to separate parents and their migrant children."
“Would we have liked them to move quicker? Yes. Do they need to move at a much more rapid pace? Absolutely,” said @leegelernt of the ACLU. “Could it have been done with a snap of the fingers? No. It is complex.”
The report does not mention accountability for members of the Trump administration responsible for the policy, despite the fact that as a candidate, Biden called the policy “criminal” and as president-elect, promised a “thorough, thorough investigation” of the policy by his DOJ.
