Court filings by the ACLU show that 545 migrant children have still not been reunited with their parents.

The parents of the hundreds of migrant children who have still not been reunited with their families did not want their children back, according to a White House spokesman, who said the Trump administration had tried.'s highly controversial"zero tolerance" policy at the Mexican border, thousands of undocumented immigrant children were taken away from their parents or guardians.

"Many of them have declined to accept their children back.... It's not for lack of effort on the administration's part," White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern said, according to NBC News. A 2-year-old Honduran asylum seeker cries as her mother is searched and detained near the U.S.-Mexico border on June 12, 2018, in McAllen, Texas.Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, described the situation as"horrific" in comments to NPR.

"Some of these children were just babies when they were separated. Some of these children may now have been separated for more than half their lives. Almost their whole life, they have not been with their parents," he said. Ali Noorani, president and CEO of the National Immigration Forum, described the situation as"America's anguish, and our shame," in comments emailed to"In a nation where family unity is a fundamental value, the administration separated families intentionally, with no way of tracking or reuniting them," Noorani said."This is negligence layered on cruelty."

plumdog99 What utter bollocks.

Thats half the story. Some of the 550 kids can't be found. The Trump crime family don't know where they are. They didn't keep records of where they put these children.

That's some BS!

Sad scenarios😭

They are liars!

Bullshit

They can't find the parents because they couldn't be bothered looking for them!!! I someone from the White House said there are 7 days in the week I wouldn't believe them!!!

Hmm makes you wonder, were they really their kids to begin with? Or were they just using kids they borrowed from someone to use for sympathy purposes?

BS

Bet the WH is lying.

Liar

Every scumbag associated with the GOP and WhiteHouse is a liar. GOPLies

The WH says means Steven Miller says

Lies!!!!!!!!

Never there parents, or they pawned them off on US , to spend $ 50,000 a kid for life. Human trafficking scam.

And they really think people will believe that?

Weren't they separated at that point in time because the people couldn't verify that they were even related to said children?

DonaldTrump all reporter cannot have a problem with reporting , the problem is your Donald Trump Crazy nogood liar YOU have destroyed USA

”White House says parents of migrant kids 'declined to accept their kids back' after report saying lawyers can't find parents” The level of BS from this White House has no bottom!

Horrible headline - you are part of the problem

Obama started all that

Pure evil

Yep, and the sky is green

What was the reasoning behind their decisions ? Not real parent, they're deported but kids stay, ..............?

This is an example of Trump the 'management genius.' Forget all of his bankruptcies, just look at this. He lost track of the parents of hundreds of kids. Trump couldn't by himself handle room service for a hotel. 13 days.

FakeNews week. That's a 4 year old photo of a toddler with her parents. I remember it being fact-checked. Back then, fake parents were bringing kids along just to get iin via sanctuary. Some were trafficked - thank God realDonaldTrump stopped much of the illegal crossing!

Bullshit

Hmm...I'm gunna go with BULLSHIT! 💩💩💩

Because the man with 6 girls all 9 years old was not really their father. Hard to believe, huh?

Ummm yeah, we don't believe that !!!!!

Is that is in writing from the parents?

Can they go lower ? WH - YES, WE CAN !

How dare they! They think we're that stupid to accept that as an answer? That was said by someone who has no decency and/or has never had children. DontBullshitUs

And the WH is FOS.

Stop lying 🤥🤥🤥

Sure, we believe them. 'Cause you know, they never lie. Seriously, how do you even tweet out this stuff when you know it's Fake news.
