BREAKING: In new court filing, lawyers say they still haven't reached parents of 506 children separated by Trump admin. Of the 506:

➡️ Parents of 322 kids were deported
➡️Parents of 168 are believed to be in the U.S.
➡️ There is no contact information for parents of 16 kids
The last time there was joint status report, in January ahead of Inaugration Day, parents of 611 children had not yet been reached. So lawyers have been able to make contact with parents of 105 kids who were separated by Trump since then.
Latest, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Lawyers for the Justice Department said they expect the Biden admin reunification task force to "resolve many — if not all — outstanding issues" related to the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of CA, that resulted in the reunification process. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Tonight's news, as shared by @maddow: during first month of Biden admin, lawyers looking to contact parents of 611 kids separated by Trump found 105.

That leaves parents of 506 who still haven't been reached just, as admin's reunification task force beings its work in earnest.
I joined @SRuhle with the latest this morning.

I appreciate the sentiment but, for starters, five days ago live on national television I asked the lead sponsor of the Biden admin’s immigration bill about how it doesn’t eliminate immigration detention or 8 U.S. Code § 1325.
Here’s a discussion from earlier this month on whether there will be accountability for family separations under the Biden admin.
From the border, also this month, our exclusive reporting on the twice-delayed family separation task force.

President Biden will sign immigration-related executive orders, including one he promised during the campaign to create a family separation reunification task force, at 5PM ET Tuesday in the Oval Office with VP Harris present, according to the White House.
A senior administration official said the task force will be responsible for "identifying all minor children that were separated from their parents or legal guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border due to Trump's 'zero tolerance' policy." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
I asked whether those separated before “zero tolerance” would be eligible for reunification. SAO said task force would consider families separated under pilot, evaluating on "individual basis” for “preference of the family” and “well-being of children." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

NEW: Biden family separation task force will cover all families separated at the border under Trump, not just those separated during "zero tolerance,” according to three sources familiar with planning discussions. With @JuliaEAinsley and @GeoffRBennett. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
During his presidential campaign, Biden ran ads promising to establish a task force to reunite separated migrant families "on his first day as president." The announcement had been expected this week but will likely be delayed. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
When the task force is announced, it is expected to be an inter-agency effort across DHS, HHS and State, led by Biden's pick to run DHS, @AliMayorkas, according to three sources familiar with the planning. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
