A new report says the parents of 545 children separated at the border can’t be found.

We obtained a January 2018 memo from DHS highlighting problems with the early “pilot” family-separation program.

One “negative impact” listed: “New populations of U.S. orphans.”
The memo was based on DHS Civil Rights/Civil Liberties office’s investigation of 27 of the 950 “family separation matters” the office had received since 2016.

It cited problems with “inconsistent, inaccurate, or no record-keeping for all arriving family members” in DHS systems;
a “lack of communication” between DHS and HHS, which is charged with caring for unaccompanied minors, leading to “family fragmentation”; and “problematic outcomes” such as “nursing mothers and infants separated.” #document/p230/a562352">https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6257038-DHS-Records-Regarding-Communications-with.html #document/p230/a562352">https://www.documentcloud.org/documents...
