Only four of 102 eligible migrant children have reunited with their parents; Trump administration misses another deadline
As an initial deadline for the Trump administration to reunify separated migrant families arrived Tuesday, desperate parents said they still had no idea when they would see their kids again.
The federal government on Tuesday said that only four — out of 102 — migrant children under 5 years old had been reunited with their parents before the July 10 deadline, according to a court filing from government lawyers. Another 34 could potentially be back with at least one parent by the end of the day, according to federal officials.
“Why was it so easy for them to take our children but so hard to give them back?” asked one Salvadoran mother who has been separated from her two children since crossing the border in May.
