Governor: Trump officials view placing migrant kids in foster care equal to family reunification
Source: The Hill
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said Friday that Trump administration officials have told him and his staff that they view placing separated migrant children in foster care as an equivalent to reuniting them with their families.
"The secretary told us on a conference call they do not have an intention to reunify these children with their parents," Inslee said on MSNBC's "All in With Chris Hayes," appearing to refer to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
"They're going to call it good if they can find anybody else who can serve as a foster parent or anybody else who can serve as familial relationship, and these kids don't even know these strangers," he continued.
Inslee claimed that the Trump administration doesn't plan on complying with a court order requiring that officials reunify all of the immigrant children separated from their families at the border under a since-ended Trump policy.

My office recently learned the shocking revelation from @HHSGov that reunification could mean placing a separated child with ANY long-term sponsor -- regardless of whether it's their parents, other family in the US, family back in their home country or in long-term foster care.

If true, this interpretation blatantly ignores the terms of the court order. The federal government has also recently admitted that reunification is being used as a bargaining chip to induce parents to agree to voluntary deportation.
We cannot trust that these families will actually be reunified. Today I led a group of six governors in demanding @HHSGov & @DHSgov take responsibility for the dire effects of the "zero-tolerance policy" and trauma inflicted on nearly 3,000 children. https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/documents/letters/DemGovLetteronFamilyReunification.pdf

Remember, their KKK base has been told for the past 30 years on over 1,200 radio stations that you and I have a mental disorder.
Local radio stations should be surrounded by thousands of protesters every day

If they can, I hope some ambitious lawyer, ahem Avenatti, will agree to take on th challenge. Think it would also be good press for him, suing orange assface for the emotional grief, and any real harm, that come to these children and their parents in drumpfs' child stealing scheme.

Miller planned this for a year. It is his life's dream. He hates brown people...even made a speech about how inferior they are while still in High School. They have spent 12 months finding and obtaining land and staff to build and pay for the detention camps. They made contracts with businesses, put people on the ground, trained them...all to separate the kids and NEVER EVER was there the desire to reunite them Why should they...they are not people to Miller and his Neo Nazi/SS wanna bes. They are animals to these fascists.
