WASHINGTON – Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) issued the following statement regarding findings in the Department of Justice Inspector General's report on the Trump Administration’s policies to separate immigrant families:
"I have long been critical of the Trump Administration's failed and inhumane policies to force additional family separations at our border, and today's release of the Department of Justice Inspector General's report makes clear that the cruelty of these policies was not an accident, but the point. I join incoming Judiciary Committee Chairman Durbin's call for hearings so that we can learn the full truth about what this Administration did, and I support President-Elect Biden's plan to assemble a task force to reunite children with their families as quickly as possible."
