As an initial deadline for the Trump administration to reunify separated migrant families<\/a> arrived Tuesday, desperate parents said they still had no idea when they would see their kids again.<\/p>\n

The federal government on Tuesday said that only four<\/strong> \u2014 out of 102 \u2014 migrant children under 5 years old had been reunited with their parents before the July 10 deadline, according to a court filing from government lawyers. Another 34 could potentially be back with at least one parent by the end of the day, according to federal officials.<\/p>\n
