500 children reunited with families by Biden-Harris task force, nearly 200 still in process

TFG and Stephen Miller abused these families and hurt these children. I am so glad the Biden Administration is working hard to correct the sins committed by TFG and the assholes who ran this program

More than 500 children have been reunited by the Biden administration's task force to find families separated as a result of the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy at the border, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday.

"This is a significant milestone that reflects the tireless dedication of the many public servants in the Department of Homeland Security and across the federal government, including those in the Departments of Health and Human Services, State, and Justice," Mayorkas said in a statement. "It is a milestone that we could not have achieved without the partnership and critical work of several incredibly committed non-governmental organizations."

Nearly 200 other children have yet to be reunited and are in the process, Mayorkas said.

The administration had previously identified 3,855 total children who would qualify for government-assisted reunification, according to the last formal progress report from the task force in July. Since then, the administration has now reached out to about 150 families who are eligible but have not responded. Prior to the establishment of the task force, some 2,260 known children were reunified.

The Biden/Harris admin is doing a good job on the border.

Fugg the GOP that says they are not.

to reunite children and families from the beginning. The forced kidnappings of children and deportations of parents began over 5 years ago now.

And of course to ourselves for being human and for electing Democrats to put the power of the executive branch behind this.

damaged and changed, all cruelly tormented by people we have to keep from starting up what we stopped once.
