Four families separated at the US-Mexico border under Trump to be reunited this week

Four migrant families separated at the US-Mexico border under the Trump administration will be reunited this week, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday, marking the first reunifications under President Joe Biden.
The effort stems from the family reunification task force set up by one of Biden's executive orders. The task force, housed in DHS, involves federal agencies to identify and reunite families who had been separated at the US-Mexico border under then-President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy. "The first families reuniting this week are mothers, they are sons, they are daughters, they are children who were 3 years old at the time of separation. They are teenagers who have had to live without their parent during their most formative years," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Sunday.More Related News
