ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project Deputy Director Lee Gelernt on pro-bono groups trying to reunite migrant families: “The government committed the wrong, is not fixing it and we’re actually paying for it out of our own pockets.”
After the American Civil Liberties Union this week reported they are unable to find the parents of 545 migrant children separated, President Trump at the last presidential debate said “we’re working on it”.
But as the Deputy Director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, Lee Gelernt, points out, this task has fallen on groups like his. Gelernt joins MSNBC’s "American Voices" host Alicia Menendez and NBC News National Security and Justice Correspondent Julia Ainsley on the efforts to reunite these families and how this happened.
