Former White House chief of staff joins unaccompanied migrant children shelter board
Former White House chief of staff John Kelly has joined the board of directors for a company that operates shelters for undocumented migrant children.
Kelly was a top aide to President Donald Trump when he enacted his "zero-tolerance" policy at the border which forced the separation of some 2,700 children from their families in a matter of weeks and sent them to privately run shelters across the U.S.
The Trump administration has since abandoned forced family separations and reunited almost all of those families under a court order. But the government says some 12,650 children remain in shelters as of this week mostly older children and teens who arrived at the border alone and are waiting to be placed with sponsors.

With Kelly being the architect of the family separation program, how could he now justify being a part of the board that oversees the welfare of the victims?
Or maybe he has become remorseful of his errors and is now trying to compensate.
