The report assesses Biden´s executive order to reunite children with their families, one of his first migration decision after he took office. Thus far 1,786 children are back to their parents, the DHS confirmed.
According to the authorities, 1,700 cases remain under review, and 29 families will be reunited in the weeks ahead. Last month the U.S. Task Force returned missing children to seven families.
