ICE uses several databases & govt records to track down targets.

…Mellissa Harper, a former #ICE official who now heads #ORR, told a staff meeting on Thurs that the agency plans to use #DNA tests to establish familial relationships, one of the sources said. It was unclear whether DNA tests would be used only on cases that raised a red flag, or on a routine basis.

In the memo, #ICE said it had collected data from a number of sources on unaccompanied #minors & sorted them into 3 priority groups, "flight risk", "public safety" & "border security."

It directed agents to focus on #children deemed “flight risks” - including those ordered deported for missing court hearings & those released to sponsors who are not blood relatives.

BTW we rarely speak of #familySeparation of African Americans, Native Americans and Jewish families as another #nazi #fascist #whiteSupremacist genocidal tactic:

Among the #Biden executive actions rescinded by #Trump include an order that directed the federal government to prioritize racial #equity in its policy making.

The Trump admin revoked a Biden executive order that created a task force to reunify families separated at the southern #border. In the time the task force was in place, it reunified nearly 800 children with their parents, according to a report it released last year.

#Trump’s overreach on #immigration policies, such as his EO on #FamilySeparation, was widely denounced as #inhumane & often ineffective.
“And those were his wins. His #tax plan added $2T to the #NationalDebt; his promised extension of them would add $5.8T over the next decade. His withdrawal from the #Iran #nuclear deal #destabilized the #MiddleEast. His support for #antidemocratic #strongmen like #Putin emboldened #HumanRights abusers all over the world.
