WATCH: Sen. Blumenthal Asks Trump Officials to Raise Their Hands If Trump’s Immigration Policy a Success

Senator Richard Blumenthal asked a panel of Trump officials on Tuesday to raise their hands if they thought the president’s zero tolerance immigration policy, which separated migrant children from their families, was “a success.”

“Let me ask this panel, who here thinks that zero tolerance has been a success?” the Connecticut Democrat asked the officials during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the reunification of migrant families. “You can just raise your hand if you think it’s been a success.”

Not one official raised their hand. “Who thinks that the family separation policy has been a success — raise your hand,” he continued.

Per the Daily Beast, the witnesses included “the acting chief of U.S. Border Patrol, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation unit, the director of the Department of Justice’s office for immigration review, and the coordinating official of Department of Health and Human Services’ family reunification efforts.”
