How Many Kids Have Lost Their Parents Because Of President Trump?

The Biden administration has identified over 3,900 children separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border under former President Donald Trump’s administration. Of these, 1,786 have been reunified with a parent, mostly during Trump’s tenure. Parents of another 1,695 have been contacted, and the whereabouts of 81 remain unknown. As of September 2023, approximately 1,000 children were still separated from their families, with the task force having not found contact information for 81 of them.

The United States family separation policy under Trump was presented as a “zero tolerance” approach to deter immigrants from crossing the border. However, it was already separating children born to immigrant parents in the United States. A government task force is tracking the fates of U.S. citizen children taken from migrant parents during the Trump administration.

The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy formalized the separation of children from their parents, with no tracking process or tracking process. A government task force is currently tracking the fates of U.S. citizen children taken from migrant parents during the Trump administration. Some have reported that at least 5000 migrant families were forcibly separated at the border by the Trump administration and its “zero tolerance” immigration policy.
