DNA tests are being performed on children and parents in an attempt to reunite migrant families separated at the US border, said a federal official with knowledge of the reunifications.

"The safety and security is paramount, and it is not uncommon for children to be trafficked or smuggled by those claiming to be parents," the official said.

"To our knowledge, this is a cheek swab and is being done to expedite parental verification and ensuring reunification with verified parents due to child welfare concerns."

Especially since:

“”The safety and security is paramount, and it is not uncommon for children to be trafficked or smuggled by those claiming to be parents,” the official said. “

Elizabeth Warren declared these tests were being done out of cruelty - all about a narrative - halting child trafficking is secondary to creating a false narrative to benefit yourself and your party politically, apparently...or she's too stupid to know that's why the DNA tests are being done. However, the news media today reported her remarks as being perfectly valid.

I think all of these children should be permanently removed from their parents care and put up for adoption because dragging then through the desert and along for the criminal entry into the US is pretty severe child abuse. Any American parent who did the same would have their children taken by CPS, why should the illegal aliens be treated differently?
