systematically separated children from their parents, much less little babies, we re talking about 1-year-old, 2-year-olds ripped away from their parents and sent halfway across the country. the administration that has especially this president has a tenuous relationship with the truth. and signed the order saying they couldn t do it because they missed that court order deadline. the administration has a lot to be proud of. and that they are saving kids lives by doing background checks. and his department is now performing one of the great acts of american generosity and charity. how do those comments jive with what you see is going on? they re so inconsistent with reality, what the government tried to do today in court is
doing when they took the children away. that was intentional. they deliberately inflicted harm on these children. now, trying to put them back together. i think they just don t know what they re doing because they simply didn t track the families. and as the judge pointed out, they tracked property better than they track these little children. so we are in a horrendous situation where thousand of children were taken from their parents. and the government simply doesn t have all of the information to put them back together. today in court, the judge basically said, cut the nonsense. get these families back together. and if you don t, i want to know exactly why you didn t get them back together. by the deadline which is today for children under 5. if you don t i want to hear what remedy should happen. this is your line of work. doing it now an doing a great job ate. have you seen anything like this? no. i have been doing this 25 plus years. civil rights immigration work. the most horri
my name as well, took the smallest most defenseless children away from their parents. with no plan in place to reunite them. and that s true, you know why? because they missed the deadline, a court ordered one. we re going to have a lot of happy people. the president signed an executive order last month that was billed as the end to family separations. the fact is, it was nothing of the kind. it was a smoke screen. made to try to get you to believe that something was going to change, all of these families would be reunited soon, and they knew where their parents were, they didn t. smoke screen, maybe it s gaslighting, who knows. it didn t pan out. thousands of families are still in limbo right now, still desperately searching for their children. the president in the face of so many too many heart breaking scenes at the border, he says this today. well, i have a solution, tell people not to come to our country illegally, that s the
down president trump s supreme court nominee. senate minority leader chuck schumer charges trump chose brett kavanaugh to protect himself from mueller s russia investigation. does he have a point. here to discuss a man who worked with kavanaugh, solomon wisenberg former deputy investigator foyer the whitewater lewinsky investigation. great to have you on. thanks. you know brett kavanaugh. both worked on ken starr s investigation of clinton. what was it look to work with him? he was quite young then. in his early 30s. he was recognized even back then as a very brilliant and hard working thinker. here was just another staff member. very well regarded. quiet, hard working. great sense of humor. he laughed at all of my jokes. how i basically define having a great sense of humor. a delight to work with. he really was. you were both obviously, investigating a sitting u.s. president. how did cavanaugh view
the government needs to put in whatever resources it takes to undo this mess of the government s making. so. i hate to ask you this question. when you kid the number of kids. and, incompetency of the process. do you thing there might be some kids who, who, may not be, reunited. they might not figure it out. or it may take forever. you know what i am saying. figure out which kid belongs to what parent? yeah, i do. what gives me hope now, as the judge has realized, the government doesn t know what they re doing. and he intend to have us back in court, constantly. having us back in court again, friday. we were in court today. yesterday. and, this past friday. that s what is giving me hope. that he is going to, going to be on the government every single day to make sure they re doing something. what shoe the penalty be for this administration?
