Acting Attorney General Rescinds Zero Tolerance Policy

Posted on February 19, 2021 by sethlerner1964

Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson issued a memo rescinding DOJ’s 2018 policy directive, “Zero Tolerance for Offenses Under 8 U.S.C. §1325(a).” Wilkinson called the policy “inconsistent with our principles.” According to NPR, zero tolerance was criticized as a humanitarian failure that caused more than 3,000 children to be separated from their families.

A government watchdog reported that DHS underestimated family separations.

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

According to a new Inspector General report published on June 2, DHS reported only a fraction of the families who were separated at the border by CBP. The government watchdog found that at least 60 families were separated in May-June 2018, when DHS had reported only 7. These separations occurred at the height of the Trump administration’s now-ended “zero tolerance” policy. CBP took issue with the report’s suggestion that CBP separated families without regard to their health, safety, and reunification.

The Inspector General found that Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy would have separated 26,000 children from their families if it had continued

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

An Inspector General report was released on November 27 that showed that DHS predicted that its “zero tolerance” policy at the border would have separated 26,000 children. Trump ended the policy after a month in June 2018. The report also found that the Inspector General could not confirm the actual number of families separated, because DHS lacked the procedure and technology to effectively track separated children. Critics have attacked this point in particular, contending that without sufficient tracking methods, families should not have been separated at all. DHS did change their procedure to more effectively track families, but this was after the “zero tolerance” policy was scrapped
