In immigration news, only 57 of the more than 100 children under the age of 5 whom immigration officials separated from their parents have been reunited, despite a Tuesday court-imposed deadline requiring all of these young children be reunited. On Thursday, the Trump administration said it could not reunite 46 children because their parents have been accused of crimes, because the children were not related to the people they were separated from, or, in at least a dozen cases, because U.S. immigration authorities had already deported their parents. In total, about 3,000 separated children are detained in facilities across the United States. A federal judge has ordered all separated children be reunited with their parents by July 26.
