Lawyers say they can’t find the parents of 545 migrant children separated
by Trump administration By Julia Ainsley and Jacob Soboroff
WASHINGTON — Lawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated 2 by the Trump administration say that they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children and that 3 about two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children, according to 4 a filing Tuesday from the American Civil Liberties Union. 5 The
Trump administration instituted a “zero tolerance” policy in 2018 that separated migrant children 6 and parents at the southern U.S. border. The administration later confirmed that it had actually begun 7 separating families in 2017 along some parts of the border under a pilot program. The ACLU and other 8 pro-bono law firms were tasked with finding the members of families separated during the pilot program. 9 Unlike the 2,800 families separated under zero tolerance in 2018, most of whom remained in custody 10 when the policy was ended by executive order, many of the more than 1,000 parents separated from 11 their children under the pilot program had already been deported before a federal judge in California 12 ordered that they be found.

TEXTO
Rápido, rápido
Sofro – sofri – de progéria, uma doença na qual o organismo corre doidamente para a velhice e a morte. Doidamente talvez não seja a palavra, mas não me ocorre outra e não tenho tempo de procurar no dicionário – nós, os da progéria, somos pessoas de um desmesurado senso de urgência. Estabelecer prioridades é, para nós, um processo tão vital como respirar. Para nós, dez minutos equivalem a um ano. Façam a conta, vocês que têm tempo, vocês que pensam que têm tempo. Enquanto isso, eu vou escrevendo aqui – e só espero poder terminar. Cada letra minha equivale a páginas inteiras de vocês. Façam a conta, vocês. Enquanto isso, e resumindo:
8h15min – Estou nascendo. Sou o primeiro filho – que azar! – e o parto é longo, difícil. Respiro, e já vou dizendo as primeiras palavras (coisas muito simples, naturalmente: mamã, papá) para grande surpresa de todos! Maior surpresa eles têm quando me colocam no berço – desço meia hora depois, rindo e pedindo comida! Rindo! Àquela hora,
8h45min – eu ainda podia rir.
9h20min – Já fui amamentado, já passei da fase oral – meus pais (ele, dono de um pequeno armazém; ela, de prendas domésticas) já aceitaram, ao menos em parte, a realidade, depois que o pediatra (está aí uma especialidade que não me serve) lhes explicou o diagnóstico e o prognóstico. E já estou com dentes! Em poucos minutos (de acordo com o relógio de meu pai, bem entendido) tenho sarampo, varicela, essas coisas todas.
Meus pais me matriculam na escola, não se dando conta que às 10h40min, quando a sineta bater para o recreio, já terei idade para concluir o primeiro grau. Vou para a escola de patinete; já na esquina, porém, abandono o brinquedo que parece-me então muito infantil. Volto-me, e lá estão os meus pais chorando, pobre gente.
10h20min – Não posso esperar o recreio; peço licença à professora e saio. Vou ao banheiro; a seiva da vida circula impaciente em minhas veias. Manipulo-me. Meu desejo tem nome: Mara, da oitava série. Por enquanto é mais velha do que eu. Lá pelas onze horas poderia namorá-la – mas então, já não estarei no colégio. Ali, me foge o doce pássaro da juventude.

damaged, and all of the interior, including the
Yala National Park, is open for business. More
