'Government based on meanness': Errol Morris and Jacob Soboroff expose Trump policy in 'Separated' - Velshi - MSNBC



Errol Morris and Jacob Soboroff discuss their new film, “Separated,” which chronicles the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” immigration policy, which separated more than 4,500 children from their parents between 2017 and 2019.

1,300 children are yet to be reunited due to incomplete information on their families, because “the idea was to avoid records,” says Morris. - Aired on 10/13/2024.

Migrants who want to turn themselves in to Border Patrol to apply for asylum, an international right. Some of the Guard’s actions border on sadism.

Gov Abbott’s Operation Lone Star attempts to prevent migrants from getting to Border Patrol in order to apply for asylum by inflicting pain.

There was a protest right here in my small city and a few hundred of us showed up to vigorously object.
