Courts, inspectors general, and internal DOJ and HHS reports were very explicit about this distinction. That is why the administration lost repeatedly in court. The paper trail showed: • separation was a policy choice dictated & demanded  by  Trump • tracking systems were not ever built before implementation • agencies were warned and shown in advance this  was  legally wrong and would  "cause  undue suffering  and utter chaos." • Key  G.O.P.  leadership was  heartlessly forced to proceed anyway So when Trump blames Democrats, he is not disputing facts. He is changing categories mid sentence to make his  guilt and accountability  diminish. That is the trick. Not evidence. Not correction. Just statistical sleight of hand and  conflation of  unrelated  events  and  numbers. It  was  his  order  that  happened  on  his  watch . Period. Those separations were intentional, ordered, and publicly defended by his administration. That is the group Judge Sabraw dealt with, and the one where the government admitted it could not reliably track or reunite these families. The court case that blew the whole thing open was overseen by Judge Dana Sabraw, a federal judge in California. Sabraw was the one who ordered the government to reunite the children with their parents and then basically went, what the hell is this mess, because DOJ, DHS, and HHS could not even agree on who had which kid for  how  long  who  they  even  were  or  most importantly  , WHERE . Because of that dumpster fire, the government had to admit under oath that: • There was no centralized tracking system not even  a plan for  one • Agencies were not sharing or  even  creating records • Kids were relabeled as “unaccompanied minors” once separated • They could only account for about 900 parents at first.  Parents that had documentation, many of which were legal United States citizens and were actively looking for their missing children. That is where the over 2700 missing children number  really comes from. Other names tied into the ***** up, depending on how deep you want to go: • Kirstjen Nielsen – Secretary of Homeland Security • Alex Azar – Secretary of Health and Human Services • John Kelly – Chief of Staff, helped design the policy earlier • Stephen Miller – policy architect, the ghoul in the corner But if you are naming the guys, the headline name, the one with the official DOJ weight behind it, the courtroom gravity, and the biblical justifications? Jeff  Sessions  and  Donald  John  Trump ..... When DOJ, DHS, and HHS were forced back  into court and documentation was demanded, they could only locate records for about 900 children under the age of 18. Most were around the ages of five to nine years old. But the list  DOES  include infants, including those less than six months. Many were literally forced into cages. With nothing but those foil blankets for  "  comfort". Even if the parents were guilty of a crime, other than Trumps new criminalization of " not having white skin " no child deserves that. Ever. Now ask yourself, what would you do if that were your kids and your family?

the zero tolerance family separation policy that began in 2018.
