The Obama administration was forced to adopt a family separation policy because courts ruled that minors could not be detained with adults when detained by ICE, but the Trump administration embraced this policy and added on kidnapping and forced separation across the country which resembled human trafficking more than any kind of immigration policy.\nAnd yeah, Biden is reuniting people while still maintaining a policy of not letting anyone cross the border anywhere at any time for any reason.
