Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Thursday that officials are racing against a federal judges extreme deadlines to reunite under 3,000 migrant children separated from their parents at the U.S. border.
Azar did not provide a precise number of children who have been separated from their parents under the Trump administration, but he said hundreds of government employees are working verify that information, including through DNA testing. The children are being held in shelters overseen by HHS. Their,parents are in federal immigration jails.
Azar signaled that, once reunited, the families will likely remain together in the Department of Homeland Securitys custody to await asylum interviews or deportation hearings.
U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw last week ordered the Trump administration to reunite parents and children by July 26. The ruling stemmed from,a class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
