Security personal stand before shoes and toys left at the Tornillo Port of Entry in Tornillo, Texas on June 21, 2018.It is one of the little-known stories of the chaotic efforts to reunify children following the end of President Trump's"zero tolerance" policy.
At 10:30 p.m. local time Sunday, Andrew Carter, the BCFS regional director responsible for the children, e-mailed Kevin Dinnin, the company's president and CEO, to alert him to the fact that the 37 children had been waiting for eight hours and not a single one had been processed for reunification."The children were initially taken into the facility, but were then returned to the van as the facility was still working on paperwork," explained Carter.
His e-mails set off a chain of correspondence that led to top officials from HHS making phone calls to ICE officials in the middle of the night to try and resolve the situation, according to a BCFS official and a former HHS official with knowledge of the incident. "DHS [the parent agency of ICE] was clearly not ready to deal with the separations and did not take steps necessary to ensure a speedy reunification with their parents," the official told NBC News."Had DHS acted differently, the process would have been much smoother and the impact on the kids would have been much less."

JonLemire JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff This story is tragic. Its been going for so long now and so many aspects get lost in the maelstrom of the daily newscycle that I think it would be good if NBC (MSNBC) provided a timeline of events from the start to explain all events and actions so that voters can catch up.
draiochta14 JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Unimaginable.
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Trump allies earn $ per incarcerated child. Doesn't matter where they are.
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Those look like the same cages they use for livestock. Despicable
SayAbstract JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Wtf
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Children need their own beds, their blankies, their stuffed animals. Not only need, but deserve it! They do not deserve two nights in a van! I’m praying constantly this madness ends soon!
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff How many died that this government did not report Like one who died 8 months ago and Press just found out? 6/6/1944- 75th Anniversary of D-Day Like we haven’t moved forward, US has brown internment cage/camps, on US soil State Dept Refuses IntlCrimCourt UNHumanRights
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Thank Obama!!
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff It’s not our fault or Homeland Security ! It’s the Parents and illegals who enter this country that are breaking the law ! No sympathy here !
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Why do they need to be separated anyway. They already had an ordeal anyway coming here. Then you rip them from the only people they know!
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff realDonaldTrump is making the border oh so safe, I see. Not only is he a misogynist, violator, treasonous, lying, disgusting person, his policies are abusing innocent children.
GadiNBC JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Rotflmao,you make it sound so traumatic...
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Parents are solely responsible. Solely
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff How about not come over her illegally and u won’t have to worry about being stuck in a van

JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff The tables will turn one day
JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff When 3,000 people enter the country illegally every day then something is bound to happen. The good news, no one lost their life, unlike the ten who died in Chicago from gang violence, or the 246 who committed suicide, or 383 who died from drug overdose this past weekend.

JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff disturbing - crossing illegally into one sovereign country, travelling thousands of miles before crossing illegally into another sovereign country ill equipped to deal with the volume must have been stressful on the children as well.

JuliaEAinsley jacobsoboroff Despite notifications from HHS about the children, ICE officers kept their schedule, clocking out while the parking lot filled with children. There was no one to greet the children and they were not equipped to process them in a parking lot, a BCFS official told .
