The Trump administration has offered little indication of how it will reunite thousands of children separated from their families under the president’s immigration policies, heightening concern that the government could fail to comply with a federal judge’s order to expedite the process.
Administration officials have been unwilling to say whether they collected information necessary to reunite parents and children before separating them. They also won’t say whether more children have been taken from their families since President Donald Trump signed an order June 20 that he said would stop the practice.
