TIME never actually claimed they were separated.
The original article stated erroneously, that the photographer "watched agents carry away the screaming girl.”

They do not need to use the word separate when they claimed the girl were carried away and the correct states it was her mother carrying her instead.

But, it also accurately quotes the photographer as saying, “As soon as it was over, they were put into a van."

Yet the paragraph right above states "he watched agents carry away the screaming girl" which is what they corrected. Also toss in the fact that the refugee claim around them ended up being fake. Which goes right back to people abusing the law by crossing illegally then claiming asylum when caught as an excuse and to avoid deportation.

Time messed up with their edit based distortions, nothing more.

It is not "illegal" according to both international and our national laws if they truly are refugees, and ICE says that about half are.

Trump & Co made this mess because they went in the "zero-tolerance" direction that has overloaded the system, and now Trump says that he wants to just get rid of them without any judicial proceedings, which would be a violation of the Constitution that he took an oath to obey.

"Agents carry away..." + "...they were put into a van" ≠ 'they were separated'.

Then there would be no need for a correction. They still lied about what happened to the girl. They lied about their status. Hence why the correction as their propaganda failed. More so they used the image of the girl on the cover next to Trump as representation of the effect his policy has. A policy of separation.

And there is this

No. There was need for correction, because Border Patrol didn't carry the girl away to a van, her mother did.
