The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pushed back against … News report in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“This narrative has been dispelled on numerous occasions,” DHS spokesperson Chase Jennings said. “DHS has taken every step to facilitate the reunification of these families where the parents wanted such reunification to occur.”
Jennings continued: “The simple fact is this: after contact has been made with the parents to reunite them with their children, many parents have refused. In the current litigation, for example, out of the parents of 485 children whom Plaintiffs’ counsel has been able to contact, they have yet to identify a single family that wants their child reunited with them in their country of origin.”
Gelernt told NBC News that some of the parents who have been reached, prefer their children to remain in the U.S. “due to fear of what will happen to their child” if reunited in their home countries. Such children typically live with relatives and sponsors.
