The Real Human Trafficking at the Border

We've separated thousands of immigrant children from their parents. And now we can't reunite those families.

The filing late Friday from Jallyn Sualog, deputy director of the department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, was an ordered response in an ACLU lawsuit challenging the government's separation of at least 2,737 children of migrants detained at the border since summer 2017.

Sualog said her office doesn't have the resources to track down the children, whose numbers could be thousands more than the official estimate.
