'When a stranger rips a child from a parent's arms without any plan to reunify them, it is called kidnapping': House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler kicked off a hearing by slamming the Trump administration over family separations at the border
Washington The former head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the agency tasked with caring for unaccompanied migrant children, appeared to concede he didn't raise concerns shared by colleagues about the controversial"zero tolerance" immigration policy with superiors. The response from Scott Lloyd, now a Health and Human Services senior adviser, was prompted by Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the policy.
"Lawmakers repeatedly raised concerns about the tracking of families who had been separated at the US-Mexico border. Lloyd disputed Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's claim that children were not being properly tracked."I wouldn't agree with your characterization that there was not tracking. The tracking that occurred, occurred within our normal case management system," Lloyd said."Our tracking of the circumstances under which kids come into our care is ongoing.
