Today we are continuing our ongoing oversight of one of the most shameful actions of the Trump administration.
The OIG is unambiguous, and I quote, 'separated children exhibited more fear, feelings of abandonment, and post-traumatic stress than did children who were not separated.'
Last year, this administration forcibly separated thousands of innocent children from their families, leading to widespread chaos and untold harm to these children.
These findings sound like they come from a dystopian novel, not a government report in 2019.
This past summer we saw the disturbing reports of the conditions at a CBP facility in Clint, Texas, that held large numbers of unaccompanied children.
No child should have to endure this anywhere, and the fact that it was a result of intentional government policy is outrageous.
Separated children exhibited more fear, feelings of abandonment, and post-traumatic stress than did children who were not separated.
This is why withdrawing from the Paris Agreement hurts our efforts to reduce climate change.
