Damning government report says ‘thousands of separated children’ put in care up to a year before policy became public.
The Trump administration may have separated thousands of migrant children from their parents at the border for up to a year before family separation was a publicly known practice, according to a stunning government review of the health department’s role in family separation.
A report by the health department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) published on Thursday said officials at the health department estimated “thousands of separated children” were put in health department care before a court order in June 2018 ordered the reunification of 2,600 other children.
“The total number of children separated from a parent or guardian by immigration authorities is unknown,” the report said.

They do not know the total number and never will, for there was such poor documentation. The simple act of placing identifying bracelets on the children and parents was not done. The US government under Trump and Sessions and HLS created orphans at will.
This horror was/is deliberate abuse. Moreover, how the hell did NO ONE working there report this? WTF?
At a minimum, call the press, call the ACLU, call someone!
