Dara Lind
13-16 minutes
On Saturday night, the Trump administration finally announced its plan for reuniting the 2,053 families who are still separated thanks to President Donald Trumps zero-tolerance prosecution policy: The administration will reunite children with their parents in order to deport them both.
Over weeks of chaos and confusion, it became clear that the various departments and agencies involved in family separation chiefly the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which handles immigration enforcement, and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which takes separated kids reclassified as unaccompanied alien children into custody were so badly coordinated that it was nearly impossible for parents and immigration attorneys to locate children.
The Trump administration is promising to fix that but only in some circumstances.
Parents in immigration detention will be helped to get in touch with their children and speak to them regularly, and the Trump administration will make sure from a reunification and removal facility in Port Isabel, Texas that when a parent is ordered deported, her child will be sent back to their home country beside her.
For parents who are trying to fight to stay in the US (for example by pursuing asylum claims, as they are legally entitled to do), though, this isnt much of a promise. Its a horrible choice.

Either way, it would be illegal for you or me.

I mean offering someone something to plead guilty?
Oh, wait...District Attorneys all over the country do that every day.
