You're conflating two different things. FWIW, I'm generally pro rapid DNA testing of families crossing the border. I think they should be held together unless there's reasonable suspicion or a DNA test proves otherwise. The policy I'm talking about only lasted a few months, it wasn't something Biden changed.
The child separation crisis was sparked by a zero tolerance policy for adults crossing the border. This meant if anyone crossed the border, even legitimate parents, the parents would immediately be sent to jail and the kids separated. So even if a DNA test would prove you were the parents, your children were taken from you. You were not told where your kids were. There was no plans on how to reunite these families after.
The government was so disorganized in this process they actually lost the documentation of which kids were whose. There are still children Trump separated that have not been reunited with their families from this program, six years later, largely due to either the incompetence or malice of the Trump administration's record keeping. The government seems to have even lost kids and somehow aren't even sure exactly how many kids they detained in this process.
I'm sorry your media programming is preventing you from understanding the actual child separation crisis that happened which was committed by the Trump administration. This was the crisis for which Melania flew to Texas. It is pretty incredible to have someone accuse others of "media programming" when they don't even have basic knowledge of the topic at hand due to their own media sources white-washing atrocities and suggesting separating families with no plans for reunification by default for misdemeanor crimes is a good thing.

Where does this say anything about DNA testing programs that were ended by the Biden administration? This program was ended before Biden was even elected. Unless you're trying to argue Biden was able to end a federal program in June 2018. I thought Trump was president in 2018, but maybe that's just my media programming.
