Almost 1,000 migrant kids separated by Trump still not back with family

WASHINGTON: Just under 1,000 children -- separated from their parents while attempting to enter the United States during Donald Trump’s presidency -- have yet to be reunited, the current US government said Thursday.When President Joe Biden took over from Trump in January 2021, he vowed quickly to undo his predecessor’s so-called “zero-tolerance” approach to illegal immigration, which had resulted in thousands of children being separated from their parents after crossing the US southern border.A task force set up to coordinate reunification efforts “has to date identified 3,924 children” separated during Trump’s four years in office, of which 2,926 have been reunited, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday.“Of the 998 children who remain to be reunited... 148 children are in the process of reunification and 183 families have been informed of the opportunity to reunify by a contracted NGO,“ the press release added.US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the leade
