老澳门开奖结果 lawyer Lee Gelernt is the lead attorney in the family separation lawsuit and had the following reaction to the new report:
鈥淭he barbaric family separation practice was immoral and illegal. At a minimum, Justice Department lawyers should have known the latter. This new report shows just how far the Trump administration was willing to go to destroy these families. Just when you think the Trump administration can鈥檛 sink any lower, it does.
鈥淭he Biden-Harris administration will inherit the legacy of family separation, and we don鈥檛 doubt that more horrific details will continue to emerge. We need them to act with urgency 鈥 every day without action makes it harder to find and reunite families.
鈥淭he incoming administration must reunite the separated families in the United States, but we cannot stop there. These families deserve citizenship, resources, care, and a commitment that family separation will never happen again.鈥
