A database the Trump administration said would help victims of crimes track the custody of suspected criminal immigrants mistakenly listed babies and other children. When alerted Wednesday evening, Department of Homeland Security officials said the release of children’s names was a lapse in policy. The agency is not supposed to release information on children in immigration custody, said Gillian M. Christensen, acting Homeland Security press secretary. It’s the latest effort by the Trump administration to spotlight crimes committed by immigrants in the country illegally. Critics argued that Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly’s announcement was more about politics than public safety.
