- Summary:
- A report on the massive number of migrant families crossing the U.S. southern border and the Department of Homeland Security's attempts to handle the large crowds. Kevin McAleenan, the acting Secretary of Homeland Security, who enforced the department's now defunct policy of separating children from parents at the border as a way of deterring migrants from attempting to cross, explains how DHS facilities are overrun with families, which they are not equipped to handle. McAleenan also explains how U.S. law allows migrant families to remain in the country until they've seen a judge, which can take up to five years with the current case backlog. McAleenan calls the situation at the border "absolutely both" a humanitarian and national security crisis. Includes interviews with Marcelino Medina, a U.S. border patrol officer; Chief Patrol Agent Rudy Karisch; Sister Norma Pimental, who runs a Catholic Charities Respite Center in Texas; and migrant families.
