The court-imposed deadline is only a day away for the federal government to reunite the families of 102 migrant children under the age of 5 who were separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. But a lawyer for the government said at a hearing in California Monday that only two children of that “tender age” have been reunited so far.

And, the lawyer said, the government expects to reunite less than 60 of them with their parents by the Tuesday deadline.

This developing story will be updated soon.
