This wasn't happening for the last year. It started last month: https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attor...nt-actions
That's the transcript of a speech AG Sessions gave, where he announced the new policy:
Quote:I have put in place a “zero tolerance” policy for illegal entry on our Southwest border. If you cross this border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. It’s that simple.
If you smuggle illegal aliens across our border, then we will prosecute you.
If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.
Then, not much happened for a month. Reuters eventually discovered that children were actually being separated from their parents, and reported on it on June 8: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-i...SKCN1J42UE
So in actual fact, it went "unnoticed" for about a month, though it's hard to say whether the policy was being enforced during that month.
Huh. Not sure why I thought it's been longer. Obviously, that solves the mystery of why they didn't bring it up last year!
