Parents of 545 children separated by Trump administration at Mexico border can't be found, lawyers say
'The tragic reality is that hundreds of parents were deported to Central America without their children’

Lawyers have been unable to find the parents of 545 children separated at the Mexico boarder after the majority of families were deported back to Central America, according to the ACLU.

A court filing from the American Civil Liberties Union showed they have only made contact with parents of 550 children out of the 1,000 families separated at the border in 2017, according to NBC News.

While 25 of those parents may have a chance of returning for reunification, several families contacted by the federal court-appointed committee to identify separated families chose to leave their children in the US with a family member or sponsor.

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, told NBC News that hundreds of families have still not been found.
