First lady Jill Biden's staff to monitor task force to reunite separated families
Source: USA Today
First lady Jill Biden's chief of staff will be involved in monitoring the Biden administration's effort to reunite children taken from their parents at the border under former President Donald Trump's roundly condemned family separation policy, her spokesman said Wednesday.
President Joe Biden, who called the Trump family separation policy a "moral failing," has vowed to form a task force to help reunite the more than 600 parents who remain separated from their children and whose whereabouts are unknown, more than two years after the policy was banned.
So far, Biden has signed a flurry of executive orders covering multiple topics, issues and goals, but the task force is not yet formed.
Once it is in operation, his wife, a college English professor, has tasked her top staffer, Julissa Reynoso, with keeping track of progress on family reunifications, a tricky task but also a move that would underscore the new administration's high-profile attention to the families' plight.

(21,500 posts)I could cry for joy. My heart has been breaking for these families ever since the immoral, inhumane crime of separation began. I feel for the anguish of the parents, but worry even more for the psychological and emotional damage to the children.
We need to go further than reuniting them. We need to provide individual therapy for the children and family counseling for parents and children together.
We should also bring charges against Sessions, Miller, and Trump for creating and carrying out this policy. Let the counseling funds come out of the pockets of these despicable scum.

I've been impressed by the President for some time, but have not known much about her until quite lately. She impresses me, too. A lot.
