"It's not true": Biden says families separated at the border under Trump won't receive $450,000
CNN ^ | 11/03/2021 | Jason Hoffman

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that families separated at the border under the Trump administration's so-called zero-tolerance policy will not receive payments of $450,000, but he did not go into detail about any possible monetary settlements for them.

Biden, following remarks about Covid-19 vaccine authorization for children ages 5 to 11, was asked if payments of that size might incentivize people to try and enter the country illegally. The President responded by calling the report "garbage."

"It's not true," he said.

In 2018, the Trump administration announced its "zero tolerance" policy, in which the Justice Department initiated criminal prosecutions of every adult illegally crossing the border, and was ended after widespread opposition. The policy resulted in the separation of thousands of families, including those with infants, some only a few months old, because children can't be kept in federal jail with their parents.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN last week that migrant families who were forcibly separated at the US-Mexico border under the policy could receive hundreds of thousands dollars in compensation as part of settlement negotiations between the Justice Department and the families' lawyers. More than 3,000 children were separated from their families at the US-Mexico border under former President Donald Trump. It's unclear how many people would be eligible for payments.

Negotiations are ongoing and it's unknown what the final figure will be, the source familiar with the matter told CNN at the time, noting that different numbers have been discussed at various times. Financial compensation would likely vary and not all would get the maximum agreed-upon amount.

“They’re going to get $500,000.”

They clean up Biden, feed him, and run him out.

He has no clue, whatsoever

Is it not true because the Bidet administration never considered it, or not true because even the socialist scumbags in DC have the sense to realize the 💩storm they’d create if they tried to pull this stunt? Hence my tagline:

The ACLU says Joetato is “out of the loop with his DOJ.”

“It’s not true,” he said.

And the ACLU tells Joe he doesn't know what he's talking about. I suspect the ACLU knows a lot more about what Biden's administration will do than Biden does.

Children cannot be housed in adult lock-downs.

Imagine what the payout would be if one of those kids got
molested or seriously hurt by an adult there.

When are the masses going to catch on, that the Democrats
have nothing to offer except twisted quarter truths,...
if that.

It took reporter Doocey to just NOW ask Biden about this? WTF?!!!

The Enemedia was promoting this $450k number TO SERVE AS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN MAGNET FOR MORE AND MORE CARAVANS.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

The same ACLU who were conspicuous by their silence since the COVIDplandemic started. Not even a lameass press release reminding elected officials to be mindful of people’s CIVIL LIBERTIES when enacting the useless mask mandates. Only to recently state that mandatory COVID pokes enhance civil liberties. Thank G-D these clowns weren’t around during the Civil War, shilling for the Dems telling us slavery enhances civil rights

Yes, Biden appeared to know nothing of the proposal......apparently cooked up as a settlement from state dept. to diffuse potential lawsuits from God knows whom.

It’s a plausible giveaway, ......if that’s the goal, which we know it is.

I suspect this was a deliberately planted rumor just to increase the size of the caravan coming up from S. America.

Maybe they could just give them each a Hunter Biden finger painting?

Anyone notice that the three US states with the largest ongoing covid death counts are the same three states that boarder Mexico? I think that is more then a coincidence, but what do I know.
