These aren't really the same situation. The original "kids in cages" scandal was about family separations. Some children being arrested is an inevitable consequence of having immigration restrictions. Taking an absolutist stance against it would require open borders. Since Biden isn't expected to do that, it hasn't been widely reported as a scandal.
The difference is one involves kids being arrested after being sent alone to the US, the other involves deliberately separating families.
They're totally still being separated from their parents at the boarder. Biden hasn't gotten around to ending that, yet. What he's done is create a task force for uniting them with family that's already here in the US, if they have any.
Does this count as a scandal?Biden said on Inauguration Day, "If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot."
A Biden aide did just that to a Politico reporter. Politico discussed this incident with the the White House on Jan 21, the day after Biden made his commitment. It took until a Vanity Fair article reported on
today (Feb 12) for him to face consequences: A one week suspension.
Edit: Looks like he just "resigned".
