It's been nearly two weeks since President Donald Trump ordered the end to his administration's policy of separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border – and the agency in charge of reuniting them won't say how many of the children are still in its care.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told lawmakers last week that 2,047 separated minors were in the care of the agency's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
