559 Children Separated at the Border Have Still Not Been Reunited With Their Parents

While the kidnapper-in-chief plays golf daily.....

There are 559 migrant children who have not been reunited with their parents after they were separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year, according to a new court filing from the Trump Administration.

Of the 2,511 separated children, 1,569 were reunited with their parents who are in the custody of U.S. Immigration of Customs Enforcement. The Trump Administration said 386 children had not been reunited because their parents were “outside the U.S.” There have been previous instances of parents being deported without their children.

For 163 children, parents said they did not want to be reunited, though government attorneys note that a “significant number” of those parents are outside the country.

The documents were filed as part of an order by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw, who gave the Trump Administration a deadline a 30-day deadline to reunite families. That deadline expired on July 26. MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff first obtained the documents and posted them on Twitter Thursday night.

Probably feel its best for the welfare of their children, to stay in the U.S. and not claim them. That could be one strong reason why many have not been reunited.
