In June 2018, NBC News and MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff
became one of the first journalists allowed entry into Casa Padre,
a Texas facility holding more than 1,400 migrant boys who’d been
separated from their families at the Mexican border. The horror he
experienced reporting on that facility formed the basis of his new
book “Separated: Inside An American Tragedy,” which documents the
Trump Administration’s zero-tolerance family separation policy
during 2017 and 2018. We’ll talk about the political forces behind
the policy, how it ended and why Soboroff considers it “one of the
most shameful chapters in modern American history.”
