The figure raises concerns about the new child separation policy.
The president of the border patrol union calls Trump's plan "a colossal waste of resources." But is that the point?
The Department of Health and Human Services learned of the missing children only after calling people who took responsibility for the youths when they were released from government custody.
"Wouldn't you feel anguish if they took your kids? I'd be going crazy. It's inhumane," said a public defender in McAllen, Texas.
Parents who cross the U.S.-Mexico border with their children may be prosecuted in federal court in Tucson. Their children may end up in foster care.

The Trump administration says it separates immigrant families only when necessary to protect the child. But the government's own figures show this has happened in more than 700 cases.
