After parental leave and sitting out the primaries because of the pandemic, this will be my first live polling place reporting of 2020. Not gonna lie, had major FOMO and cannot wait to shake off the #RoadWarriors rust and get back out there, masked up of course. — PolitiTweet.org

Hopping in the car and driving up north where I’ll be reporting this week from Oakland, CA — birthplace of Sen. Harris and where she launched her campaign for POTUS with tens of thousands. You in Alameda County? Would love to know your Election Day plan and maybe meet up. — PolitiTweet.org

Border Patrol official to @MelissaLaLinea on Trump admin push for separations: “It became very political. I suppose it was fear. Nobody wanted to tell the White House ‘no,’” he said. “Nobody wanted to say it’s 98 percent zero tolerance, not 100 percent.” https://t.co/C8JEEf8TcU — PolitiTweet.org

“At one point, he said, they resorted to trying to track the whereabouts of kids on a whiteboard. But as the children were moved... they easily became lost in a fragmented system.” Powerful new reporting on El Paso pilot by @MelissaLaLinea at @theintercept.https://t.co/C8JEEf8TcU — PolitiTweet.org

It’s also a “somber reminder” that in 1994 “prevention through deterrence” was launched as an official Border Patrol policy, intentionally funneling migrants so they’d enter the U.S. via “hostile terrain,” where death was a likely outcome. Trump has super-sized deterrence policy. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s also a “sober reminder” that in 1994 “prevention through deterrence” was launched as an official Border Patrol policy, intentionally using infrastructure and manpower to force migrants to cross into the U.S. though “hostile terrain,” where death was a likely outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

While, on family separations, Trump "became wobbly after implementation was poor and media coverage negative," we know he's tried multiple times to restart the practice — including the time in 2019 he prodded Kirstjen Nielsen aboard Marine One en route to console tornado victims. — PolitiTweet.org
