El Paso, June 6 (RHC)-- Reports emerged this week of a failed attempt to reunite separated migrant families in Texas last July, which saw 37 migrant children spend up to 39 hours waiting in a van to see their parents.
The 37 children were between 5 and 12 years old, and most of them spent at least 23 hours in the van during one of the hottest months of the year. E-mails obtained by NBC News from BCFS Health and Human Services -- the government contractor responsible for transporting the children -- reveal a lack of proper planning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and senior officials at the Department of Health and Human Services.
