471 parents were deported from US without their children during family separations

The Trump administration has identified 471 parents who were removed from the United States without their children, according to the latest court filing in an ongoing lawsuit.

At least some of those parents were deported before a June 2018 court order that required the government to better document parents' choices to elect or waive their right to be reunified with their children beforehand. That's not to say that parents weren't provided the opportunity, according to the Department of Homeland Security, but rather they did not fall under the court-ordered waiver procedure.
