The top official at the Department of Homeland Security said on March 1 that the Biden administration believes it is a “moral imperative” to reunite families of illegal immigrants, as he blamed the previous administration for the waves of people that agents have encountered at the southern border in recent weeks.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is heading a task force dedicated to family reunification at the direction of President Joe Biden, said options include flying to the United States the parents of unaccompanied minors caught at the border.
