At least 18 migrant children under age 2 were separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border for a period of “20 days to half a year,” according to a new report from the House Oversight and Reform Committee.The report, released Friday, looked at the effect the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance policy” had on families arriving at the border, largely seeking asylum, over a period of months in 2018.
A January report by a government watchdog group concluded that the Trump administration does not know how many children it has separated from their parents. The House committee now says it has obtained new information on at least 2,648 children who were separated last year, concluding that the separations have been “more harmful, traumatic, and chaotic than previously known.”
More than 400 of the children were moved to “multiple” CBP facilities, the report said, and more than 80 children were moved to multiple facilities run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement for unaccompanied minors. At least five children were moved to multiple Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
The report was released shortly before the House committee convened a Friday hearing on conditions at the border, with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Talib set to speak about the border facilities they toured last week that have been labeled as concentration camps by some.
