1. The family reunions have begun.

Four families that had been separated by border authorities were reunited, and 34 more reunions were planned by the end of the day, officials said. Officials cited safety concerns to explain why the total fell short of the requirement set by an original court order: that all children under age 5 — a total of 102, by the government’s latest count — be reunited by Tuesday.

The reunited families were set up with ankle monitors to make sure they appear at court hearings on their immigration cases. Above, a reunited family in Washington last month.
