This is a disgusting result of Trump’s family separation

Reuters also pulled the article after DNC War Room tweeted it.

The author of the report has clarified that his figures do not represent the number of children currently in migration-related US detention, but the total number of children in migration-related US detention in 2015.
We will delete the story. t.co/p30UjEWl7u
