New report on Trump child separation policy makes it clear that cruelty was always the point

In response to feigned surprise over administration actions that result in human suffering and death, critics of the Trump administration have been inclined to respond, “cruelty is the point.” In other words, policy decisions are not made despite consequences for vulnerable people; they are made with the intent to inflict hardship so as to serve administration objectives (e.g., deporting “dreamers” to fend off future illegal immigration). Nowhere is this more evident than in the immoral and un-American child separation policy.

Trump administration puts burden on ACLU to find deported parents separated from children – The Washington Post

The civil liberties organization should use its "considerable resources" to locate the parents, the government argued in a court filing. The U.S. government has deported hundreds of migrant parents without their children in the aftermath of President Trump's now-defunct family separation policy. But now administration officials are arguing that it's the responsibility of the American Civil Liberties Union, not the federal government, to find those deported mothers and fathers.

Republicans prepare bill allowing migrant children to be detained more than 20 days

Republican lawmakers are preparing to vote on a more narrow immigration bill that would allow immigrant children to stay in detention facilities with their parents. The bill would eliminate the so-called Flores settlement that requires that children be released from detention after 20 days, fixing a flaw in President Trump's executive order that mandates that children and parents not be separated during detention.

White House Executive Order on Family Separation

It is the policy of this Administration to rigorously enforce our immigration laws.  Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time.  When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code.  This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise.  It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.  It is unfortunate that Congress's failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law.
