Hundreds of migrant children are taken from families ...

...despite rollback of separation policy


Silvia Maribel Ramos arrived in the United States last month to learn that her husband had been deported to Guatemala and her 3-year-old daughter had been taken. Ramos is struggling with the paperwork required to recover her child. “My daughter can’t understand. She just weeps and begs to be with us,” she said.


The latest data reported to the federal judge monitoring one of the most controversial of President Trump’s immigration policies shows that 245 children have been removed from their families since the court ordered the government to halt routine separations under last spring’s “zero tolerance” border enforcement policy. Some of the new separations are being undertaken with no clear documentation to help track the children’s whereabouts.

It's still going on.
Can we get the House investigating this?
