NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Page 6A Wednesday, August 1, 2018 Official says agency warned family separation bad for kids Associated Press WASHINGTON — A Department of Health and Human Services official told senators Tuesday that his agency had warned the Trump administration that separating families would be dangerous for children. But some of the govern- ment’s top immigration offi- cials used a Senate hearing to largely defend how the pol- icy has been implemented, with one comparing family detention centers to “a sum- mer camp.” One official told the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee that while the Trump adminis- tration was developing its immigration policies, Health and Human Services offi- cials said they were wor- ried “about any policy which would result in family sep- aration due to concerns we had about the best interests of the child.” Commander Jon- athan D. White of the U.S. Public Health Service Com- missioned Corps, a branch of HHS, said they were also uncertain their depart- ment had enough resources to handle large numbers of detained immigrants. “There’s no question that separation of children from parents entails signifi- cant potential for traumatic psychological injury to the child,” White said. Asked by Sen. Rich- ard Blumenthal, D-Conn., what response HHS offi- cials got from administra- tion policymakers, White said, “The answer was there was no policy which would result in separation of chil- dren from family units.” White is a career official at HHS who has served in three administrations. White’s remarks came as the Judiciary committee questioned officials about what has become an elec- AP Photo/J.

Trump dropped the policy more than a month ago under fire from Democrats and Republicans alike. But of more than 2,500 children who were initially separated from parents and guardians, hundreds remain in federal custody including more than 400 whose parents left the U.S. without them. Lawmakers and journal- ists who have visited some detention facilities around the country and migrants themselves have reported poor conditions. The top members of the Judiciary committee — Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Ca- lif. — have asked inspectors general of two federal agen- cies to investigate reports by news organizations that immigrants at some centers have suffered alleged sexual and other forms of abuse. Matthew Albence, an executive associate direc- tor at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the lawmakers that “the best way to describe” conditions at family detention centers was “like a summer camp.” He said the facilities undergo rigorous inspections and offer basketball and other forms of recreation, food and water around the clock and medical and dental care. “We do not leave our humanity behind when we report for duty,” Carla L. Provost, acting chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, told members of the committee. At one point, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, asked witnesses whether they would want their children to stay in one of the gov- ernment’s family detention centers. “I think we’re missing the point,” answered Albence. “These individuals are there because they have broken a law.” While some Republicans offered measured criticism of the problem, Democrats rid- iculed Trump’s immigration policies as cruel and bun- gling. No. 2 Senate Demo- cratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen should resign and that someone “has to accept responsibility” for policies that show “the extremes this administration will go to.” Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chided the administration for not having an adequate sys- tem for matching separated children with their parents. He cited the often frantically crowded Chuck E. Cheese children’s restaurants as hav- ing procedures that work. When Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked the witnesses “what went wrong” when the govern- ment began having trouble matching detained children with parents or guardians, the most specific answer came from the public health service’s White. “Children were sepa- rated from their parents and referred as unaccompanied alien children when in fact they were accompanied,” White said. Grassley said Trump’s crackdown on people ille- gally crossing the border from Mexico was well-in- tentioned but has had unin- tended consequences. He said the administration has “mishandled” family separations. The officials said they keep records of children in their custody and can docu- ment decisions by hundreds of detained parents to will- ingly leave the U.S. without their children, an assertion that has drawn skepticism from lawmakers. Some migrants separated from their children have said they did not understand what they were signing. White called a family’s decision to leave children behind “a desperate last act of a parent” that he said is “unfathomable until you’ve walked in those parents’ shoes.” Facebook finds ‘sophisticated’ efforts to disrupt elections NEW YORK (AP) information using its plat- — Facebook set off form and that the affected a firestorm Tuesday, groups are affiliated with announcing that it had the political left.” The identified accounts uncovered “sophisticated” sought to “pro- efforts, possibly mote divisions linked to Russia, and set Ameri- to manipulate cans against one U.S. politics and another,” wrote by extension the Ben Nimmo and upcoming mid- Graham Brookie term elections. of the Atlantic The com- Council’s Dig- pany was care- ital Forensic ful to hedge its Research Lab announcement; Zuckerberg in a blog post it didn’t connect the effort directly to Rus- Tuesday.
