TONIGHT: New episode of “Street Level U.S.A.” airs at 9PM ET on @TheChoice on @peacockTV. We report on the ground (and from a bridge, boat, EV and more) about the Biden infrastructure proposal, who would benefit and who might get left behind. Also airs Sunday 10PM ET on @MSNBC.
We previewed tonight’s show this morning on @3rdHourTODAY, sharing the story of the new 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, and how some worry about the bridge’s impact on the Boyle Heights community.
Hope you’ll join us tonight on @peacockTV and Sunday night on @MSNBC.
Special thanks to chief Los Angles engineer Gary Lee Moore for the spectacular tour, and everyone in the hour for sharing your stories with us.

NEW: 2,100 families separated by Trump admin haven’t been reunited, according to Biden admin. Hundreds haven’t been located. We joined nonprofit @SenecaFOA on their cross-country search as they went door-door-door to find them and offer mental healthcare.

Here’s the backstory on how the Trump admin tried to stop these mental health services from being offered in the first place. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…

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.”

I am on assignment and somehow I only brought one sneaker.
My wife claims there is no single sneaker at our house, so the mystery deepens…
Sad!

NEW: @DHSOIG says Trump administration "removed at least 348 parents separated from their children without documenting that those parents wanted to leave" kids behind in U.S. and some records didn't say if ICE first "gave the parent the option to reunify." oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…
H/T to @Haleaziz who is going through the report here:
"In some cases, ICE removed separated parents without their children even though ICE officers effecting their removal knew the parents wanted to bring their children with them." (Page 10)

In March I asked @SecMayorkas about @Haleaziz’s reporting DHS was deporting Haitians despite the fact Biden admin knew they’d be sending them to danger.
The same month, we traveled to Tijuana with @GuerlineMJozef who introduced me to Haitian families stuck in Tijuana, unable to seek relief in the U.S.

Last year @maddow ran this whistleblower Dawn Wooten interview, after @jbwashing/@jlosc9 exclusive, about women detained by ICE in GA having procedures without consent. @TheTinaVasquez, @itscaitlinhd broke new details. Now DHS says GA facility will close. msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/nu…
Reaction here from one of nurse Wooten’s lawyers.
“We have an obligation to make lasting improvements to our civil immigration detention system,” said @SecMayorkas. “This marks an important first step to realizing that goal.”

Today DHS also announced it will discontinue the use of another ICE dentition center in MA.
