This sound really terrible, right? So I asked DHS about it. Spox Chase Jennings: This narrative has been dispelled on numerous occasions. DHS has taken every step to facilitate the reunification of these families where the parents wanted such reunification to occur. 1/ https://twitter.com/jacobsoboroff/status/1318679776144420865

"The simple fact is this: after contact has been made with the parents to reunite them with their children, many parents have refused." 2/

"In the current litigation, for example, out of the parents of 485 children whom Plaintiffs’ counsel has been able to contact, they have yet to identify a single family that wants their child reunited with them in their country of origin." 3/

"The result is that the children remain in the U.S. while the parents remain in their home country. The reunification process is a whole-of-Government approach involving CBP, ICE, and HHS." 4/4

Basically, dropping your kids off with Uncle Sam and ghosting makes people shitty parents and that’s what we’re dealing with here. But please, keep RT'ing this media malpractice.
