WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is asking that parents of children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border undergo another round of psychological evaluations to measure how traumatized they were by the Trump-era policy, court documents show.
The request comes in a lawsuit filed by migrants seeking compensation from the government after thousands of children were taken from parents in a policy maligned as inhumane by political and religious leaders around the world. Settlement talks with attorneys and the government broke down late last year.
The requests came in two cases filed by 11 families. There are nearly two dozen similar cases pending in other courts, and some have already submitted to government-requested psychiatric evaluations.
But the parents have already sat for hourslong depositions in which they recounted what happened in detail. Government investigators have said children separated from their parents showed more fear, feelings of abandonment and post-traumatic stress symptoms than children who were not separated.
Some children believed their parents had abandoned them or had been killed. For some, the mental trauma caused physical symptoms, like chest or heart pain, according to a 2019 report from the inspector general’s office in the Department of Health and Human Services.

And the American citizen parents in the military who are separated from their children by the US government ???
And what about those kids separated from their U.S. citizen parents who broke the law? The ones who were sent to prison.
Looks like the Biden Administration is prepping to give massive amounts of taxpayer money to these “victims.”
Gonna be kind of hard
when the gov can’t even determine
“ what a woman is” ,
much less the
actual genetic biological “ parent”.
.
Yep, follow the money on this one.
I should say
Won’t
Not can’t.
Why did the parents leave their country and insist upon it even after learning it would be bad for their children ?
Fixed it.
Don’t border jump with your kids in tow... problem solved.
Parents made choices, now they can live with the consequences.
Biden/Obama started that practice Trump stopped it!
I hate these monsters.
Yep, if a couple with kids are arrested, they don’t get to take the kids to jail with them. Any lawsuit or complaint about this would be laughed out of court. But when it comes to people who break the law entering the country, why that’s different. They get to sue and hope to get paid.
Let’s have tests for all those children the cartels placed in kiddie whore houses under Biden’s open borders crap.
More ‘State’ control and subservience.
The movie “1984” was actually a documentary.
Modern shrinks are more crazy than anyone.
I spent a lot of my childhood with my father overseas.
Why is the federal government involved in this?
No psychological tests for the victims of illegal aliens or the families of victims of illegal aliens.
The government gets away with these outrageous intrusions into our lives precisely because as a population we tolerate it.
Given that most mass shooting young men are from absent father divorced homes might be good to test ALL adolescent males in separation situations regardless of citizenship status.
A neurotic left-wing female psychologist will find all kinds of emotional issues in her immigrant subjects, especially when assigned to.
These reports will be bizarre.
