Thousands of migrant kids remain in Texas shelters

Even as federal officials were supposed to reunite separated immigrant children with their parents, the number of children in Texas' privately run shelters fell by only 88 between July 13 and Aug. 7. The Trump administration said it would reunify families separated under the now-paused “zero tolerance” policy, but new data shows the number of children held in privately run shelters in Texas remains higher than normal, and has fallen by less than 2 percent in the past month. www.texastribune.org
