hey everyone, german pede here.

i just had a horrific discussion with a family member that accused trump of seperating families and caging children. when i tried to find stuff on that google literally gave me 3 sources, being cnn, nytimes, and wapo, i knew that their 'factchecks' are manipulative bullshit.

can anyone link me something that explains why 'trump seperating families' is wrong?

kind regards

One issue is child trafficking.

Border officials anticipate 117,000 children will arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or guardian in 2021, Axios reported Tuesday. The number is higher than the 68,000 taken into custody during the 2014 surge of solo children and the 80,000 who arrived during the 2019 humanitarian crisis at the border.

When kids are detained at the border, the US tries to find the families, who often do not want to be found.
