HHS creates task force to reunify migrant families

Source: Politico

HHS on Friday created an "unaccompanied children reunification task force," a first step toward reunifying thousands of migrant children in the agency's custody with their families, according to an internal document obtained by POLITICO.

The task force was established by the assistant secretary for preparedness and response — the arm of the agency that responds to public health disasters, and an indication that the challenge of reunifying thousands of families is likely beyond the capabilities of the refugee office.


"The Secretary of Health and Human Services has directed the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response assist the ACF Office of Refugee Resettlement with Unaccompanied Children Reunification," the order reads. The agency's Emergency Management Group, which operates out of the HHS secretary's operations center, also was activated.

HHS did not immediately respond to request for comment.

So they stole thousands of children, including babies and toddlers who can't even talk, shipped them around the country, and only NOW, months later, are they deciding to BEGIN setting up a system for reunification.

I doubt they'll every be able to achieve 100% reunification. There will always be some kids whose entire lives have just been ruined by Trump and Sessions.

I hope they are serious about this because it's not going to be easy.
People need to be patient and not give up hope.

Apparently the Navy is busy building thousands of square feet of 'prisons' around the country preparing for, what was it.. 200,000 'inmates?" Something like that.

So build the prisons, let citizens pay for it, then turn them over to DeVos et al to make a killing.

Yupers, that's a plan
