DHS Sec. Wolf told CBS, @camiloreports that of 3300 separated families he can’t think of 1 who wanted child back. Here’s the truth in this thread: 1. MORE than 3300 kids have been separated by Trump admin; actually 5400-5500.
2. Contrary to Wolf stmt, MANY families did ask for their kids to return home and we got them reunited thru @aclu lawsuit.

THREAD: Here are just some of the things wrong with @SecNielsen testimony today on family separation.

1. Contrary to her testimony, Children WERE taken away even when parent sought asylum legally. @SecNielsen 2. Secretary Nielsen cites 2,000 separated children, but our case documented 2,800 kids taken away. Now an internal report says there may be thousands more on top of the 2800.
