Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were instructed Thursday to begin taking additional steps to ensure that they are not unintentionally separating parents from their children at the southern border or when making arrests inside the country.

Or intentionally, I hope.
A memo by acting ICE Director Tae Johnson, which was obtained by NBC News, instructs agents to “affirmatively inquire” about the relationship between migrants and minors they are crossing the border with, and to update the migrants’ files with that information.
The new procedures are the latest in a series of steps the Biden administration has taken to ensure that the separation of migrant families, which was done systematically by the Trump administration in 2017 and 2018, does not happen again.
Doesn't sound like much of an assurance.
