The U.S. government began separating families at the border under the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy in 2017, with no immediate plans for reunification.
Legal advocates, including the ACLU, have worked tirelessly to reunite separated families, estimating that possibly over a thousand families remain apart without clear records.
Despite efforts from the Biden administration’s taskforce, there is still uncertainty about the total number of families that have yet to be reconnected.
The lack of documentation regarding family separations complicates efforts to address the issue, with estimates ranging from 4,728 to 5,500 families affected.
