FNC: Hundreds of Migrant Children Have Not Been Reunited After a Court-Order Deadline Passed

‘A federal judge ordered the administration to reunite about 2,500 children with their parents after they were forced to separate’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "Ken Brown from The Wall Street Journal. Hundreds of immigrant children are still separated from their parents right this minute. Yesterday was the deadline for families to be together again. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reunite about 2,500 children with their parents after they were forced to separate, as part of the President’s policy, his controversial zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration. The policy caused chaos, confusion and anger across America. The President last month signed an executive order to stop the separations. The feds say more than 1,800 of the 2,500 children are back with their parents or sponsors. That leaves more than 700 kids without their mothers or fathers and still in the custody of the United States government. Included in that number, more than 400 children whose parents the Government has already deported. But the Government has declared it has met the court-ordered deadline. It’s one or the other. Casey Stegall has more. He’s live in the southwest newsroom. How can they have met the deadline if they’re all separated?”
