This headline appeared in many news outlets this morning:
APNewsBreak: About 500 Kids Reunited With Families Since May
Some outlets have added “Administration official says” but that is also too credulous.
A Washington Post reporter tweeted yesterday:

It is shockingly difficult for immigration attorneys to locate children separated from their parents at the border. Today I spoke to lawyers who represent more than 400 parents. They've located two children.

So the idea that they have reunited 500 families is likely complete bullshit.
And given the constant lying about this crisis (and everything else),l it’s probably 99% likely to be utter bullshit.
