After repeated questions from jonkarl over whether his administration is seeking to reinstate family separation in its immigration policy, Pres. Trump says, 'We're not looking to do that.'
denied reports Tuesday that his administration was considering reviving a policy that led to thousands of migrant children being separated from their families."separated the children" and that "I'm the one that stopped it."
"President Obama separated children. They had child separation. I was the one that changed it," he said.Under Obama and President George W. Bush, the U.S. border officials separated families in rare circumstances when the child's safety might be at risk. Officials have said this typically happened when authorities questioned whether the child belonged to the adult, or if a serious crime like drug smuggling was committed.
While the president said his administration was not looking to bring back zero-tolerance, he added that migration numbers were on the rise without family separations. According to numbers released Tuesday by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the number of families apprehended in the month of March alone – about 53,000 – is double of what it was just two months ago. And almost 9,000 older kids and teens traveling alone were apprehended last month.
