The US authorities say they are "working with collaborating agencies to be able to reunite each and every one of the children with their parents or legal guardians."

 

The United States Government has reunited 522 immigrant children with their families, after being separated as part of Donald Trump's immigration policy, as announced by the Department of National Security.

The authorities have also assured that in the next 24 hours they plan to reunite another 16 children with their relatives.

On the other hand, the State Department has reported that the border authorities will keep a "small group" of children separated from their parents for reasons other than Trump's regulations, since it has not been possible to confirm the identity of their relatives.

The US president set in motion a regulation under which immigrant minors who arrived illegally at the border with Mexico were separated from their families and held in centers other than those of their parents.

In response to criticism of this regulation, the president has had to backtrack with the measure, and on Wednesday signed an order with which he ended the regulation. As a result of the measure, 2,300 minors had already been separated.

In the statement, authorities have added that the Department of Health and Human Resources has 2,053 immigrant children housed in facilities financed by them and that "it is working with collaborating agencies to be able to reunite each and every one of the children with their parents or legal guardians. "

At present, 17% of minors who are in a state reception center are the direct result of Trump's migration policy, while 83% are minors who would have arrived at the border without companions.
