Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will sign an executive order to create a task force dedicated to locating the parents of 545 migrant children if he is elected president in November.
Biden’s campaign announced the pledge in a digital ad released on Wednesday.
The ad features a clip from the final presidential debate where Biden torched the Trump administration for allowing family separation at the border.
“Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated and now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents and those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. It’s criminal,” Biden said.
Trump replied, “They are so well taken care of. They’re in facilities that were so clean.”
Watch the ad below:
The narrator concludes the ad, “On his first day as president, Joe Biden will issue an executive order creating a federal task force to reunite these children with their parents.”
According to a filing from the ACLU reported by NBC News, it is feared the administration deported two-thirds of those parents to Central America without their children, as IJR previously reported.
