Republicans charged the American Civil Liberties Union with hypocrisy for fighting to upend the Trump administration's family separations at the border while seemingly doing less to help unaccompanied minor children missing under the Biden administration.
GOP lawmakers on the House Homeland Security Committee slammed ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt for showing greater concern over returning 5,500 children taken from their parents than 85,000 unaccompanied children the New York Times recently revealed were unaccounted for after being released into the country.Chairman Mark Green asked Gelernt during a hearing Wednesday about the difference in approaches in how the civil rights advocacy group sought to protect immigrant children across two administrations.
Republicans repeatedly questioned Gelernt on the same matter, but his response remained the same — that the ACLU believes the 85,000 children are not missing, but"sponsors just didn't answer calls." Rep. Clay Higgins , chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, asked Gelernt if he believed the civil rights of the 85,000 missing children are being violated.
