Yesterday, the Trump Administration notified the court that it has identified 102 separated children under the age of five – and that only four of these children were reunited with their parents before the deadline.
The Administration has failed to even identify the parent of one child and has made no effort to contact 12 parents who the Administration itself deported.
Contrary to what HHS Secretary Azar told Congress, many parents of separated children reportedly still do not know where their children are, and their attempts to contact them have been unsuccessful.
The Trump Administration continues to try to shift the blame for this humanitarian crisis onto Congress, when in reality this is, as a federal court found, “a chaotic circumstance of the government’s own making.”
The Administration’s real plan is not to reunite these families but to undermine the Flores settlement, a legally-binding agreement in place for over 20 years that protects the best interests of detained children.
I’m not going to stop demanding answers from this Administration until it abides by the court’s order and reunites every single child who has been separated from their parents #FamiliesBelongTogether.
