“They’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists……They’re sending us not the right people,”
And with that, Trump began his run for the presidency.
And now that has won, he can push his attitude onto those who must support it as if their jobs depend on that because they most likely do.
So, it was no surprise when Chief of Law Enforcement Operations for Customs and Border Protection Brian S. Hastings was asked if a three year old who was separated from her grandmother when they legally arrived at a border entry point in El Paso, Texas, was a “criminal or national security threat”, he replied,
“I don’t know the background in this case.”
Pressed further, as his answer implied that there was the possibility that “criminal or national security threat” could be supported after examination, he was asked,
“Do you know any 3-year-olds that are criminal or national security threats to the United States?”
Chief of Law Enforcement Operations for Customs and Border Protection Brian S. Hastings admitted,
“No, I don’t.”
In spite of that, the three year old was separated from her grandmother for 47 days, and was only reunited after the Trump administration was forced to reunite them by court order.
Any defense of the separation being based on the grandmother’s being a “criminal or national security threat” was very much weakened when Chief of Law Enforcement Operations for Customs and Border Protection Brian S. Hastings admitted that in that regard,
“I don’t know—again, I don’t know the background of what her grandmother or relatives were.”
The testimony showed that the family separation policy of the Trump administration is arbitrary and baseless, and the assumption that those coming to the border were bringing drugs, bringing crime, were rapists , and not the right people was weak justification at best.
The fact that it took a court order to reunite the child with her family and that the administration had not come up with a plan to reunite families in spite of the separation policy resulting from, I assume, some degree of planning and was not a spontaneous action, would seem to indicate that the Trump administration intended for family separation to be permanent.

Between October 2017 and June 2018 there were 850 complaints that separations conducted by Hastings and his officers had been done in as inhumane a manner as possible such as in the cases where a 14-year-old was separated from his father after a meal break while in custody, and was told by officers that his father would be deported, an 11-year-old was called aside by an officer and did not see his father again, and a 10-year-old with poor communication skills separated from his mother.
Hastings was unable to explain how his officers had gone about removing children from their parents, admitting that there was no “minimum time” for warning parents they were about to be separated from their children even as it was possible such separations could be permanent. He also admitted that there was no intent to reunite the families when the policy was first implemented.
When Representative Jerry Nadler asked him,
“After it was determined that the adult was being deported, was the child supposed to be returned to the parent before the deportation, or the parent is suddenly in some foreign country and the child is here?”
Hastings replied,
“We don’t do the reunifications.”
When he was asked in a follow up question,
“So you would do the deportation before the reunification without any knowledge of whether the parents are being reunified?”,
Hastings replied,
“Yes.”
Such a moral approach.
