Senior policy adviser Stephen Miller and a team of officials from the Justice Department, Department of Labor, Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of Management and Budget have been quietly meeting for months to find ways to use executive authority and under-the-radar rule changes to strengthen hard-line U.S. immigration policies, according to interviews with half a dozen current and former administration officials and Republicans close to the White House.
The goal for Miller and his team is to arm Trump with enough data and statistics by early September to show voters that he fulfilled his immigration promises even without a physical border wall or any other congressional measure, said one Republican close to the White House.
In other words, not only is the family separation practice a stunt meant to make Trump look tough, but he apparently plans to go even further as a way to drive turnout this fall.

Would not be surprised to find out they made the kids give bio-data info: fingerprints and retina scans.
The military was taught how to create and store bio data on Iraq citizens whenever they could.
