There is a lot of media attention on the Trump Administration’s admission that they don’t know where over 1,000 refugee children are and on it’s decision to separate newly-arrived immigrants from their children.

Did the Trump Administration Separate Immigrant Children From Parents and Lose Them? is from The New York Times.
