The Trump administration's effort to track children separated from their families at the border is plagued by communication problems that raise questions about the accuracy of the data, a watchdog reported Thursday. The administration created the tracking system following its “zero tolerance” policy in 2018 where more than 2,500 children were separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, though the watchdog has estimated that figure could be much higher. Immigration officials have continued to separate some children from their parents at the border for certain reasons including a parent's suspected criminal history, and have said the tracking system will help avoid some of the chaos, confusion and trauma suffered by separated children.
