After Family Separations, a Settlement
On The Gist, John Hockenberry's piece in Harper's. Donald Trump is no stranger to settlements, and the latest of these come between his administration and hundreds of asylum-seekers. They were rejected after making their cases under the duress of being separated from their children … or their parents. "How are the kids supposed to say why they fear persecution? Try having that conversation with a 4-year-old," says Margo Schlanger, who headed the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties under Obama. If approved by the court, the settlement would give the migrants a second chance to apply for asylum. In the Spiel, impeachment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
