This makes me smile

The Biden administration’s Family Reunification Task Force has reportedly reunited 52 families that were separated under Trump, up from just seven families in June.
The update was included in a new report from “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday, in which correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviews Michelle Brane, the chair of the task force.
Alfonsi reported that 52 families separated in 2018 under the Trump’s administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy have been reunited since the task force was created in February.
Brane warned that up to 1,500 or more families remain apart, noting it is difficult to discern a specific number because of the lack of records from the Trump administration.

“lack of records” is part of it, but they also gave the children different numbers from their parents (on their wristband).
