Report released on migrant child separations

A new report was released on the repercussions of separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. The widely condemned policy -- which Donald Trump was forced to rescind last summer -- led to the separation of more than 2,600 migrant children from their parents or legal guardians. CBS News politics reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez and CBS News contributor Leslie Sanchez joined CBSN to discuss the report's findings and what to expect from forthcoming ICE raids.

In an exclusive interview with the head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, CBS News learned thousands of unaccompanied migrant children are at risk of spending the rest of their childhoods in federal custody. His Obama administration predecessor, Bob Carey, said the current rhetoric is making migrant families "fearful." He said if no one comes forward to claim unaccompanied children because they fear the government, those kids will be detained longer.
