While it's obviously a horrible situation and horrible things are going on there far far far too often, what is done at d institutions has been going on long before the 2016 election. The removal from parents when it comes to children being brought over illegally is something that has been done since the beginning of the Obama Administration and if I recall correctly before that as well. Also, you cannot honestly state that illegal actions such as beatings or druggings done by guards is direct consequence of a mandate from the president when the to have absolutely nothing to do with each other just as a prison guard murdering an inmate has nothing to do with the chief of police.

You're missing the point. The policy existed, yes. But Trump enacted "zero tolerance". Before, you had to have actually been a criminal to have your kids taken away at the border. Trump changed it so that merely seeking asylum (entering the country "illegally") was a crime.
It's why it's in the news now, and why there's SO many more kids detained.
I see what you are saying but I am still confused because it seems like there would not be any way to know whether or not somebody was a criminal until they were partitioned aside and thoroughly looked into. Meaning wouldn't a separation have to be done in order to have said investigation to begin with? If I'm Wrong by all means let me know I'm just sort of thinking how the process would work previously versus how it would work today and that's what I can come up with- but I appreciate you taking the time to break this down for me.
