Kids crossing the border and separated from their parents under Trump’s zero-tolerance policy last year were so traumatized that they often complained of chest pains and believed they had been abandoned, according to new report by a government watchdog.
Kids crossing the border and separated from their parents under President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy last year were so traumatized that they often complained of chest pains and believed they had been abandoned, according to a report released Wednesday by a government watchdog.
The federal government has since acknowledged that it didn't have a clear way of tracking the parents and children in a way so they could be easily reunited. The difficulties that some facilities had in locating parents in detention and scheduling phone calls contributed to children’s anxiety, the report states.
Last month, Trump announced a new plan to try to deter migration to the U.S. He said he plans to detain families together by lifting a longstanding 20-day limit on children in detention. That plan faces court challenges.
