HHS: 5 adults claiming to be parents of detained children ruled out by DNA tests

......The Trump administration is using DNA testing to reunite migrant families previously separated in order to prosecute adults illegally crossing the border.

If we find out they are not the legal parent, then clearly we are not going to reunite them, said Chris Meekins, a top HHS official overseeing the reunification process. Our process may not be as quick as some would like, but there is no question it is protecting children. ......
