ICE deported 348 migrant parents under Trump without ensuring children could go with them By Camilo Montoya-Galvez Biden administration reuniting migrant children with parents
The Trump administration deported at least 348 migrant parents without ensuring they wanted to leave their children behind in the U.S. after being forcibly separated from them, according to a government watchdog report made public on Monday.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) even deported some parents who told deportation officers they wanted their children to come with them, the investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General found.
In May 2018, for example, a migrant father asked to be deported with his daughter, who had been separated from him, the DHS investigators found. ICE deported him the following month without his daughter.

President Joe Biden is opening another side door on the nation’s border for migrants who claim to be “vulnerable” transgender individuals.
In April, more than 170,000 migrants were stopped at the border and while some are being turned back to comply with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order, Title 42, put in place to prevent spread of coronavirus. The Biden administration is planning to admit “vulnerable” families with small children and transgenders.
Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR), which regularly criticized former President Donald Trump’s border policies, including making asylum seekers remain in Mexico while their cases were litigated, is defending Biden’s chaos on the border.
