Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan tells Congress that one to three family separations occur every day when the care of the child is at risk.

While the Trump administration has discontinued its policy that resulted in thousands of migrant families split up at the border, U.S. officials continue to grapple with a crush of family crossings every month and dozens of children who the government says must be separated for health and safety concerns.

“It’s a very rare situation and it’s got defined criteria that we've, by policy, mandated for our personnel in the field,” McAleenan said. The DHS chief acknowledged to senators the challenge of ensuring consistency in the process across immigration enforcement agencies. Throughout the hearing, McAleenan was pressed on the maintenance of Border Patrol stations that have been overwhelmed with migrant families and children crossing the border in record numbers.
