From the WSJ Article:
"families were forcefully broken up with no provisions to track and later reunite them, government investigations found. The lawsuits allege some of the children suffered from a range of ailments, including heat exhaustion and malnutrition, and were kept in freezing cold rooms and provided little medical attention."
The US Government took the children in to custody, they had a duty of care, law broken or not.... There are cases where they didn't even keep track of which child belongs to what family, sorry you do that to anyone you get a huge lawsuit.. The US government can bring this to court and see what a jury think but when the ALCU lawyers describe how children were ripped from there families and now can'r be reunited years later, you are paying big time...
This is not Biden giving money, this is legal strategy... Sorry but Trump fucked up and US Taxpayers have to pay the bill
