The number of children who have been separated at the southern border of the United States illegally and relatives, is significantly higher than the government specified. Nearly 3,000 minors were not captured by the official statistics, it is said in a Thursday report, published by the US Ministry of health. Previously, only 2737 migrant children were in the Ministry, which were separated in the context of the “Zero tolerance policy” of US President Donald Trump by their parents or companions.
The Figures were in June 2018, as Trump stopped after massive protests, the forced separations at the Mexican border. “However, thousands of children may have been separated during an influx, of 2017 began, prior to the census,” said the Ministry. In addition, there had been “problems” with the identification of some of the children.
The report is in contradiction to earlier information, the U.S. government, which had spoken of a systematic approach to the forced separation. This is also why the opposition Democrats severely criticized the government. These have deceived the Public about her “hideous” procedure “,” the MP said in the house of representatives, Bennie Thompson. (sep/AFP)
