Thousands more children were separated from their parents at the border than was previously known, inspector general says
- Thousands more children were separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border than was previously known, a government watchdog announced Thursday.
- The family separations sparked by the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" border policy last spring had previously been pegged at 2,737 children.
- The inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services says, in fact, the separations began long before the "zero tolerance" policy, and have continued after a June 2018 court order halted them.
