The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking for ideas from the public on "how the U.S. government can prevent family separations at the U.S. border."
Separations at the border occurred under the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations. President Joe Biden is considering $450,000 payments to thousands of migrants who were separated when they entered the United States under President Donald Trump's "zero-tolerance policy."
According to a DHS press release on Thursday, the government wants input on "how to permanently protect against the prior administration’s practice of intentionally separating families at the border to deter others from migrating to the United States."
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said: "It is unconscionable to separate children from their parents as a means to deter migration… I have met with separated families and heard firsthand of the immense trauma they have suffered. We have an obligation to reunite separated families and ensure this cruel practice never happens again."
>Reminder, Mayorkas, must have Panera, was just in Seattle, land of 'migrants' and he visited the ICE facility before going to SeaTac
