Udall: ‘This Policy of Separating Children from Their Families Is Inhumane and Cruel’

‘What I’m worried about the most is the emotional scars to young children that are separated from their parents’

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: "The administration and Jim Lankford, senator from Oklahoma claim they know where every child is. They know where every parent —"
UDALL: "I don’t believe it"
BERMAN: "Why not?"
UDALL: "I don't believe it for a minute, because the numbers we’re getting with the reporting are anywhere from 2,300 to 3,000 children. I want the president to step forward with a list or one of his cabinet secretaries and let us know they have the names of the children, they know where they are and they know they are in good condition and that they are going to reunite them with their parents, because he has signed an executive order that said he is going to do that. This policy of separating children from their families is inhumane and cruel. And we've got to put an end to it and we've got to get them reunited. And I don’t see the commitment here to get them reunited."
