Texas state police officers have been separating Migrant Families along the border with Mexico by detaining fathers on trespassing charges and turning over mothers and children to federal officials, according to the state Department of Public Safety. This marks a shift from previous comments by Texas state police leaders who said families should stay together. The number of family separations may be closer to 40 or more, according to Amrutha Jindal, chief defender for Operation Lone Star Indigent Defense. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has called for an investigation into the reports of separated families.
