Lawyers say they can't find the parents of 545 kids separated by trump's administration. I think that figure is probably higher. They've basically been orphaned.
Lawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated by the Trump administrationsay they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children, and that approximately two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children, according to a filing from the ACLU on Tuesday.
The Trump administration instituted a "zero tolerance" policy in 2018 that separated migrant children and parents at the southern U.S. border. The administration later confirmed that it had actually begun separating families in 2017 along some portions of the border under a pilot program. The ACLU and other pro-bono law firms were tasked with finding the members of families separated during that pilot program.
