NEW: Botched family reunifications left migrant children waiting in vans overnight: Not until after 2 nights in a van did the last child step out of a van to be reunited. Most spent at least 23 hours in the vehicles. - JuliaEAinsley / jacobsoboroff
Security personal stand before shoes and toys left at the Tornillo Port of Entry in Tornillo, Texas on June 21, 2018.It is one of the little-known stories of the chaotic efforts to reunify children following the end of President Trump's"zero tolerance" policy.
At 10:30 p.m. local time Sunday, Andrew Carter, the BCFS regional director responsible for the children, e-mailed Kevin Dinnin, the company's president and CEO, to alert him to the fact that the 37 children had been waiting for eight hours and not a single one had been processed for reunification."The children were initially taken into the facility, but were then returned to the van as the facility was still working on paperwork," explained Carter.
His e-mails set off a chain of correspondence that led to top officials from HHS making phone calls to ICE officials in the middle of the night to try and resolve the situation, according to a BCFS official and a former HHS official with knowledge of the incident. "DHS [the parent agency of ICE] was clearly not ready to deal with the separations and did not take steps necessary to ensure a speedy reunification with their parents," the official told NBC News."Had DHS acted differently, the process would have been much smoother and the impact on the kids would have been much less."
