Faced with a court-imposed deadline to reunite families separated at the southwest border, federal authorities are calling in volunteers to sort through records and resorting to DNA tests to match children with parents. And they acknowledged for the first time Thursday that of the nearly 3,000 children who are still in federal custody, about 100 are under the age of 5.

The family separations, part of an aggressive effort by the Trump administration to deter illegal immigration, have produced a chaotic scramble as officials now face political and judicial pressure to reunite families.

Records linking children to their parents have disappeared, and in some cases have been destroyed, according to two officials of the Department of Homeland Security, leaving the authorities struggling to identify connections between family members.

The effort is complicated by the fact that two federal agencies are involved in detaining and sheltering migrants, and they did not initially share records with each other. On Friday, the leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services, which shelters the children and must now undertake reunifications, sent out a plea to federal public health workers for help with an exhaustive manual search of records.


I, for one, am shocked that the Trump administration didn't plan this out very well.

Common Trumper tactic tbh. Take a policy the other side advocates, pull it to its illogical extreme and accuse the other side of that.

Like how they take someone disliking Trump's rhetoric on immigrants, and somehow that means they support a street gang that beheads people.

I've been accused of hating gays because I was uncomfortable with the Muslim ban

Ensuring the reality of filiation ties prevents human trafficking of children, precisely. But give the Mad Left a few seconds, they will call it "nazism" any second now.

Isn't it easier to simply ask the parent for the child's name, and asking the child separately for the parent's name, and then asking him/her "is this your parent?"

I am wondering what they really want to do with the DNA. It's probably something to do with race.

They knew they would have to give these kids back to their parents eventually, so what exactly was the fucking game plan here?

Except you know, it's possible for someone to be a step-parent or might not otherwise be their biological parent, yet they are still the parent. Which would make relying on DNA useful in some situation and dumb in a lot of others.

There was no game plan. That's why they're scrambling now.

It just makes no sense. As dumb as Trump is, there are actual people overseeing these agencies. How did they not anticipate this being an issue?

Who has Trump appointed based on their related experience for the position in question?

The DNA part isn't the problem. It's the gov't being archaic and trash as usual.

Implying it's not possible for biological parents to traffic their own children. Sorry but your shitty narrative kinda dies still born when actual logic is applied to it

When some of these kids are under 5, that is not easy.

Good point, plus none of them probably expected to keep a job long enough for it to be their problem

Also I didn't elect anyone.
