Dora Melara says the pandemic has made it tougher to find parents who the Trump administration separated from their children at the US-Mexico border. But she's determined to keep trying.

Dora Melara heads into remote parts of Honduras, looking for clues in cases she never imagined would take this long to solve.

Sometimes, the people she's seeking are nowhere to be found."There are places where you practically have to climb mountains to get there. And when you arrive, they say, 'He doesn't live here anymore,'" says Melara, an attorney working with the nonprofit Justice In Motion.

Boy traumatized after separation: I can't forget 03:09When she does find a family, they can be distrustful at first. But Melara says the simple act of speaking with them face-to-face and listening to their stories brings solace and relief. And for parents that may have been struggling for months to reach their children and unsure of where to turn, Melara says it's been rewarding to watch them reconnect in video calls."Some have told me. ...

Trump didn’t separate those kids. Obama did. He built the cages in 2014. Trump signed executive action to end the separation of families. Please do your research and stop making fake news. This is why nobody pays attention to CNN anymore.

485 of those children have been identified by their parents, but all 485 refuse to take back their children. Get your facts straight.

Maybe stay together as a family and stop blaming the USA for everything go back to Mexico

Maybe parents with young children should stop trying to cross the border illegally

Bullshit....Real parents don't abandon their children.......

These parents must of sold their kids. Because no pandemic will stop a parent from getting their kid back. Stop the bs

Don’t come here illegally !

So, the parents abandoned their children ? Or maybe they weren’t the real parents and thise kids were actually rescued from traffic cartels?

Who built the cages? Obama/Biden.

It might be a problem that they are orphans and there might not be parents to find.

HERE IS THE TONY BOBULINSKI PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WOULDN'T COVER BECAUSE THEY ARE BIASED LIARS:

Obama separate them, and if you can't find them, are the parents even trying to find their kids, or did they leave them behind on purpose?

She means Obama administration seperated. It was done during OBAMA's reign. (Biden for the win)

When will the children be REUNITED? Return the children NOW. Hold trump accountable

So your saying that these parents we NOT with the children? It’s taking them this long to find them? Go to any consulate and let them know who your trying to find. ChildTrafficking WhoBuiltTheCagesJoe

O ok, so it's 'Chy-na's' fault.

So many misinformation from BIDENS “facts” hope you will be addressing or you’ll lose all respect moving forward

Not our fault

You look like you need to poop tonight. Are you OK Jake? You clowns at CNN are a joke. How is Jeffrey Toobin?

It's quite possible that ICE deported them after their children were snatched.

Fake news, and liars, hey, this election has already been decided in the heavenlies, and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING none of you can do about it. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, and do youself a favor and get on the winning side. Come on over !

They separated themselves by coming here illegally

Usually when someone commits a crime you separate them from their children. It's not like these parents dont know how/where to find their kids. But I do know this is a win if any of these children are victims of child trafficking.

That was Obama not Trump but regardless y'all act like Trump went over to Mexico kidnap their kids & bring them back over there if they would just came here legally they wouldn't never got separated from their kids 🙄 TRUMP 2020 K.A.G 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So, BarackObama was pretty lucky not to have a pandemic making things hard for him when he started the whole 'separating kids from parents' thing? How about we stop all illegal crossing so that coyotes/human traffickers are knee-capped in their efforts to hurt/ rape & exploit?

even the ones from 2014 when it started?

That was Barry

MAybe they should have just stayed home?

God bless you folks in finding your children.

Think Of How Lucky We All Are To Live A Whole Life On This Big Beautiful Planet. So how do WE treat this gift? We fight over skin colors or who's fake god is real & then there are those who cause chaos & division seeking the power to tell others what to do with THEIR BODIES! WHY?

Lawyers say they can't find the parents of 545 migrant children separated by Trump administrationLawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated by the Trump administration say they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children, and that approximately two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children, according to a filing from the ACLU on Tuesday.
