105 of the 611 children who the trump administration ripped from their mother’s arms and stuck in cages have been reunited with their parents , thanks to efforts by the Biden administration . The Biden administration continues to work to find the parents of the remaining children but their efforts have been hampered by the fact that the trump administration deliberately didn’t keep records which would have helped in the reunification effort. It was the policy of the trump administration as internal documents have revealed that , cruelty was not collateral but the focus of the separation policy. It was intended as a deterrent and many have argued that the policy and the conditions of detainment of the children are human rights violations under international laws.
