CNN’s Berman: DNA Testing Separated Migrants a ‘De Facto Admission’ the Trump Admin Had No Plan

‘It seems to me a de facto admission that they have no idea how to match the kids with their parents’

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: "It seems to me a de facto admission that they have no idea where the -- you know, how to match the kids with their parents. They need to go to DNA testing there, April. A de facto admission that they had no plan when they separated these children from their parents, which, in fact, we know from admissions and reporting they didn't."
RYAN: "Yes, right. And Jackie's absolutely right, to go to DNA to prove -- I mean and there are -- there are some concerns that some of the people that they walked across the border with are not necessarily their parents. It could be uncles, what have you. But, still, to go to this. And to understand when they came up with this. When this administration came up with this zero tolerance policy, they didn't care. It was about showing teeth. If you cross the border, we're going to separate you, period, end of story, and you're going to be in our system. They had no plans to reserve it until the public outcry. But at least they are trying. The question is, will these kids be able to be reunified with their parents?"
