Biden review could reveal additional families separated under Trump ‘zero tolerance’ policy.

DHS officials announced that the Biden administration is reviewing whether additional families were separated at the southern border under the Trump administration. The administration’s family reunification task force, established in early February, has yet to connect any families, and are instead reviewing some 5,600 files to determine if there were other families affected by former President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy. Sources says the review could reveal a small number of additional separations beyond those already known. Apx. 2,800 children were separated from their families during Trump’s 2018 policy, with court documents revealing in October that more than 500 were never reunited.

Central American asylum seekers sent to Mexico are becoming victims of kidnappings.

Under the Remain in Mexico program, asylum seekers are sent to Mexico for the duration of their cases. These asylum seekers are increasingly becoming victims of kidnappings. Doctors without Borders said in September 2019 that 44% of their patients had been victims of kidnappings, with another 12% being victims of attempted kidnappings. By October 2019, the percent of patients who were kidnapping victims was 75%. CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan discussed the report in a briefing on February 11, saying that the report did not reflect CBP’s understanding of the security situation in Mexico. Morgan also said that CBP would work with the Mexican government to encourage asylum seekers to stay in shelters and not in encampments where they may be more vulnerable to attacks.

HHS OIG Issues Report on Separated Children Placed in ORR Care

The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report that found the total number of children separated from a parent or guardian by immigration authorities is unknown. Pursuant to a June 2018 district court order, HHS has thus far identified 2,737 children in the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) care who were separated from their parents, but thousands of children may have been separated during an influx that began in 2017, before the accounting required by the court.

Trump Team Drafting Plan to Deport More Young People—Central American Teens

The Trump administration is weighing a new policy that would fast-track the deportation of thousands of Central American teenagers who arrived at the southern border, unaccompanied by adults. This new policy would call for the expedited deportation of more than 150,000 young people currently protected by the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program, many of whom arrived at the southern border, escaping violence and poverty in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Under the plan being discussed, teens in this group would be sent back to their countries when they turn 18 under a fast-track deportation, preventing them from seeing an immigration judge before they are deported
