545 children may never see their parents again because the Trump-Sessions family separation policy was deliberately indifferent to collecting the information necessary to reunite them when it deported the parents.

Lawyers: We can't find parents of 545 kids separated by Trump admin
About two-thirds of the 1,000 plus parents separated from their kids under a 2017 pilot program were deported before a federal judge ordered they be found.

Free, open, and offered to those deported who were forced to leave their children behind.

The USA has some humanitarian work to do.

would use the DNA info and felt many parents would not voluntarily do the test.

That is probably the only method to be certain of reuniting them with family. Maybe in a Biden administration the parents would feel safe to take the test?

They'll find each other.
