White House adviser Cedric Richmond said today that the US Justice Department will determine the compensation amount in legal cases brought by immigrants whose US migration included family separations.
“If the DOJ determines that it saves the taxpayers money and it rights a wrong, then they will make the determination that is necessary and I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,” Richmond Biden, speaking at a press conference to celebrate his victory on the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that passed this week, grew angry when questioned again about his stance on Saturday. He blamed “The outrageous behavior of the last administration” for the need to compensate the allegedly traumatized immigrants. He reportedly raised his voice and jabbed his finger at Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, who asked the question about the payouts.
“Whether [the border crossing] was legal or illegal, and you lost your child. You lost your child, it’s gone — you deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance.”The Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties union were reportedly negotiating the settlements. But Richmond said today the DOJ would determine the end amounts without the White House.
