Actually, 100% of them are unaccompanied. Since they arrived on their own or were removed from their parents by the government.

No at the crossing when detained they are 90% not accompanied by a family member.

People coming thru ports of entry arent violating immigration law and they are not separated (some exceptions exist and they are specific).

It was reported by DHS / BP. Of the 12k +/- illegal minors in custody over 80% are unaccompanied.

Seems a bit hypocritical to criticize now though, where were these voices during the election (or before it became a hot issue in the media for that matter, and an easy way to score some points with the public)?

How the Support of Catholics Helped Donald Trump’s Victory

Will the Trump Moment Change the Course of The #UMC?

What is not contestable is that a simple decision was made by every electorate who voted for Trump: they voted for him “even though” they knew all the bad things about him.
...
The 2016 Presidential Election has a strong parallel to The United Methodist Church because Trump drew much of his “even though” support from the same power-base as The UMC.

Donald Trump won significant majorities in a wave of the Rust Belt, which Colin Woodard’s 2011 book American Nations designates as Greater Appalachia and the Midlands.
...
The largest unit of United Methodism in America comes from Greater Appalachia, which along with the Deep South and the Midlands comprises 51% of American Methodism.

The problem is with Hitler people didn’t have a choice mostly

This holocaust survivor mentions regarding the excuse 'they had to do that', i.e. 'no choice' (referring to flying the swastika flag inside the churches):

"Well it's a matter of conscience, you can't force anybody who doesn't want to...that doesn't exist". (11:17 in the interview below to see the context)

Likewise, those who profess to be Christian don't have to vote for Trump or otherwise support or endorse him. Again it's a matter of conscience. Which in their case is likely to be seared as with a branding iron (numb, without feeling, it isn't working properly anymore, apathetic, not sensitive to what is right and what is wrong).

1 Timothy 4:1,2

However, the inspired word* [Lit., “the spirit.”] clearly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired statements* [Lit., “misleading spirits.”] and teachings of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, whose conscience is seared as with a branding iron.

The video has part of a press conference by the administration and an official states it.
