The Biden administration has reunited 500 children separated from their parents under the previous administration’s border policy, The Hill reports. The benchmark follows nearly two years of steady work to reunite more than 1,000 children who were estimated to remain separated from their parents when President Joe Biden took office. Last year, the administration launched two sites — together.gov and its Spanish-language counterpart juntos.gov — to give families a way to actively seek reunification. The administration says it still has nearly 700 children to place. At the height of the program under former President Donald Trump, more than 5,000 children were separated from their parents.
