https://www.vox.com/2018/6/20/17486446/family-separation-reunification-trump-executive-order-immigrationThe separation of families was never intended to be permanent, but advocates and immigration lawyers say the government doesnt have a coherent process of reuniting families or even putting children and parents in contact while theyre separated. Parents have been deported, while children are left behind in the US. Some children are transferred thousands of miles away from the border and their parents.
The Trump administration has halted the brutal practice of dividing parents and kids, which may reduce some strain on an already overburdened system. But it wont erase the trauma many of these kids likely have experienced and its not clear it will remedy the chaotic process of bringing families together, or even guarantee speedy reunification.

If "organizing the safety" means reunification, they'll have their hands full.

Is supposed to be the church organizing the safety of the kids. They are some strange folks but not the worst. Not sure how they got the "contract" but, we have a Bethany in our city.....fringy.

Besides, it's not clear whether Trump's executive order will be applied retroactively to those already separated. The only thing it seemingly does is call for asylum-seeking families to be detained together from this point forward. But established law says kids can't be detained for more than 20 days.

Odd. Not very comforting. And, why them?
