Bahamian girl reunited Thursday night after being separated from family

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article235038087.html

A 12-year-old Bahamian girl who was separated from family by U.S. immigration officials at a South Florida airport Sunday was reunited with her family Thursday night, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol confirmed.

Kaytora Paul, 12, was picked up by her mother and aunt sometime Thursday evening after spending four days at His House, a Miami Gardens shelter for unaccompanied migrant children. The girl, who was traveling with her godmother, was fleeing the destruction of Hurricane Dorian. Her family’s roof had collapsed, and they had slept in their SUV for days in the rain.

Federal government officials told the Miami Herald that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services expedited the reunification process after the child’s case sparked public outrage. HHS told Florida officials that the U.S. government “was unaware the girl was a hurricane survivor” at the time of separation.

Bullpuckey, they knew the young lady is a hurricane survivor. Two possibilities here, they knew and tortured her anyway, or they didn't know and they are torturing children at will. Thank you to the public outrage that got the family reunited.

I’m sure both of them knew where they came from. They officials knew. They were “just following the rules.”
