According to this article from the Guardian, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has reported that over 900 children have been separated from their families at the US border with Mexico after a judge's court order last year "that the practice be sharply curtailed." Furthermore, the ACLU's court filing indicates that one in five of the separated children is under the age of five. "Separately," says the article, "the Trump administration is scouting sites in central Florida, Virginia and Los Angeles for future facilities to hold unaccompanied minors who have crossed the US-Mexico border."
