miguel marquez joins us from brownsville, texas, where some of those released migrant parents are desperatelyk down their children. miguel? what do we know about this list? >> well, this is part of a lawsuit in california. the judge asked for the list, the aclu has the list. aclu will go through the list to see if there's any help that they can provide in trying to track down these parents as w l well. they say they have tons of volunteers trying to help the individuals down because the government says it doesn't mow where these parents are. the ones are in custody, they know about. the kids that are in custody, they know about, the ones that have been deported or the ones that have been released they don't know about and increasingly we are seeing individuals here in south texas who have bonded on their asylum claim. we spoke to five family members searching for their kids. i want to show you what that looks like or sounds like. >> that is a mother has been separated from her six-year-old for over a month. she got out of detention 72 hours ago. she came to this facility in brownsville to see

cnn's miguel marquez joins us now. miguel, you've been in texas covering this for weeks.gns that the families will have at least that contact with their parents any time soon? >> reporter: yeah. they may be one of the best things to say about what's happening on the ground right now is that a lot of families say that they have had at least one phone call with their loved ones. not all of them. it is not per feck. some haven't heard from their loved ones at all. the deadline for everybody to be in contact with the families by this friday and there are more serious deadlines ahead. the clock is ticking under order by a federal judge, the trump administration has until next tuesday to reunite children under 5 with families and all kids must be reunited by july 26th. >> i just got off the phone with a mother we represent. she has spoken to her son or daughter once since being separated in may and no news about eminent reunification or anything of that sort. >> that's what you hear? >> that's what we're hearing. none of the clients reported that they were notified to be i reun

cnn's miguel marquez is in brownsville, texas, and he's been speaking with some of the moms who are searching> reporter: yeah, john -- joe, we're starting to see some of those parents get out on bond in their asylum cases, and the chances of the government making that 26th deadline doesn't seem very hopeful given the process that they seem to want these parents to go through. so these are people who crossed the last month or so. they've been separated from their kids for a month, most of them a little over a month. most of them have had at least one phone call, one individual hadn't talked to his son at all. some of them are in texas. others are in other parts of the country. the problem for these individuals is that they get out of detention center, the -- all their documentation that they had with them was taken by department of homeland security and remains with them. they don't have the means, the ability to fill out and follow the process that hhs, the health and human services, that now has custody of their children, that they want. hhs, it seems, is treating these adults, these parents

cnn's miguel marquez joins us now from texas with the story of one migrant mother desperately trying r: yeah, it's a good example of just what a mess, an absolute mess, it is on the ground as parents are starting to bond out. others are still detained. it does sound, ryan, that the parents that are detineained, t kids that are detained, the government may try to put them together in a separate facility but for the parents that are out trying to find their kids, it's not going to happen any time soon. she's 39 from guatemala. she may be the first separated parent to get out of detention after going through a normal immigration process after president trump signed an executive order ending the separation of families as part of his zero tolerance policy. i can't stand being apart from my son, she says. just give me my son. she hasn't seen her 10-year-old son since may 19th. she even wrote him a letter. she believes her son is in the same brownsville facility visited by dhs secretary kristen nielsen last week. the deportation officers told me i had to leave and go to florida to be with my

let's bring in cnn national correspondent miguel marquez in texas near the border.us? >> yeah, pressure growing on the trump administration to reunify those families. i want to be perfectly clear. we have seen some reunifications, but those are due to a judge's order, nothing to do with the trump administration plan. in los angeles, 12-year-old josaline separated a month from her parents. in miami, a similar scene. 7-year-old yani separated from her mother for two months. these reunifications ordered by a judge, not the trump administration which reversed the president's so-called zero tolerance policy but has so far provided little direction on when and how the mass reunifications would take place. massachusetts senator ed markey and texas congressman al green toured several facilities over the last 48 hours. is there any sense of how and when these children will be reunited? we asked i.c.e. last night, when are the children going to be reunited with their parents? they said they don't have any instructions yet. >> my sense is that the president has made a colossal

let's go to cnn's national correspondent miguel marquez. he's in texas near the border. miguel, you have new information about the fate of some of these detained immigrants. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, this may be the biggest news since a california judge ordered the repatriation, the reunification of those 2,047 children with their family. a lawyer that we work with here that knows a lot of the immigrants who are detained in texas, she, her firm, and several volunteers that have come in to help represent some 210 parents of separated families, today they got word detention officers or deportation officers at i.c.e. are working on the 4th of july. they got word that nine of their clients have now been issued bond. it sounds small. this is huge for these people. it is the first time -- they have been denied bond all along. it is the first time these individuals have the hope of getting out of detention and then finding their kids. this is how the lawyer described the moment when she told one of her clients they were actually going to get out. when you told yo

with me now miguel marquez in texas and let's start with you stephanie elam in san diego where the trumpdministration is back in court today to explain why they could not meet the deadline, what did the judge say? >> reporter: right, what we are hearing here is he's not extending the deadline here for these youngs children. the judgment does still stand far when the deadline is. we know four children have been reunited. that's before we talked into court today. the government says 34 families are ready to be reunited today. the judge found that there are 63 children who should be reunited with their children today. one of the issue that did come up of dna testing making sure the children did belong to their parents. parents have documentation that they are the parents and they should be reunited. the judge wants them back in court on friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. local time to talk about this and find out what the status update is and if they don't make the deadline, why in this case, that has not happened, brooke. >> stephanie, thank you, miguel to you in texas with more on today's smal

cnn miguel marquez was on the seen at the incident and filed this report for us. >> reporter: it's an incredibly tense several hours here in los angeles, one person dead, others shot and possibly could expire as well. all of this as a trader joe's, a popular grocery store in southern california. this is the remnants of what was a hostage barricade situation. around 1:30 specific time in the afternoon, the individual shot his grandmother several times. he took someone else with him. a young woman with him. police later in l.a. picked him up and started following him. they were in literally hot pursuit when they -- the young men crashed into a poll outside this trader joe's with a gun many hand, starts running in, exchanges gunfire with police. that's when somebody inside the trader joe's, a young woman was hit. police followed him in, tried to resuscitate her but she expired at the store. and for then several hours the individual held up in the store taking hostages at one point and then letting them all go later in the afternoon sur runderiren himself to police, asking for a pair of h

miguel marquez joins me in arlington, texas, with the latest. a few things to get through.at do you know about how these reunions are going to happen today? >> reporter: we know that parents and children have been moved in close proximity to each other across the united states, in different states, different locations across the united states. and at some point today, they will be brought together by dhs or i.c.e., and then they will be released it sounds like in large part to groups that deal with refugees in those localities. some may be detained for some time as families by i.c.e., but it sounds like most will go free. this is essentially what happens in the immigration process when families come across to begin with. we've gone through all of this only to end up sort of where we began with this. we expect the reunifications to start happening fairly soon across the country. the department of homeland security has said that it would brief the reporters later in the afternoon about how it all went. so presumably the next several hours, all of this will be done. >> and thi

cnn's miguel marquez joins me now live from brownsville, texas. miguel, the question everybody wants to know, why can't they meet a deadline to get these small children back with their parents? all of those. >> the simple answer is, because there was no plan to do it. when they separated these individuals, the parents from their kids at the beginning of this process, the administration said all along we know who the parents are, we know who the kids are, we have -- we are tracking both of them. but it is very clear in talking with the parents that we are now meeting, many parents now bonding out, some parents getting deported, some kids getting deported. lawyers talking to their clients still locked up in different detention facilities around the country. it is very clear that there was no plan at all to reunite parents. if there were, they would have established parentage at the very beginning of this process, so in the eventuality they had to reunite those parents, they could have done that far more easily. what what we are hearing now as parent

. >> cnn's miguel marquez is live in texas near a facility that houses some of the young migrants. miguel, are you seeing reunifications there? what are you hearing from parents? >> reporter: we're not seeing them here. the way it has begun to work already in cities across the country, i.c.e. is going to start moving these kids to places where their parents are. in phoenix, arizona, for example, there's a couple of different facilities there. and government vans from i.c.e. came, picked up kids. they're going to move them over to see their parents at another facility, reunite them there, and then likely release them out into the -- to refugee groups, groups that help them locally so they can continue to with their asylum process or any other claims that they have. much like every family deals with as they come across right now. all that aside, the judge today in california is going to hear another hearing to sort of get an update on the process of not only the under 5s, but to set a roadmap for those five and over. you've got 100th day, about several thousand families want this to h

cnn's miguel marquez is live near the border for us in brownville, texas.ace any repercussions for missing this deadline? >> reporter: they could but not at the moment. from the hearing we had today, the judge doesn't seem likely to punish the government in any way with fines or holding it in contempt, setting up a constitutional crisis. but it has raised a lot of questions for those under 3,000 kids and their families when will their chance come to be reunited? the trump administration set to miss its first deadline to reunite all kids under 5 with their parents by tomorrow. >> one of my biggest questions is that. what's the plan? >> reporter: senator gillibrand visiting a brownsville facility caring for 1,400 unaccompanied minors including 150 kids separated from their parents. reuniting kids with their parents far more difficult than claimed when the president reversed the policy by executive order. >> they had absolutely no, you know, vision, no thought to how this was going to play out. >> reporter: the administration on track to reunite just over half

miguel marquez is there for us now. simple question, why was the boat out during a storm warning?> reporter: well, i mean, they go out all day long. there was a storm warning for much of the day, and more serious watches came in a half hour before the boat went out. you look at the lake right now, we're expecting thunderstorms again. this is summer in missouri. it is extraordinarily hot and humid and thunderstorms happen throughout the area. this was part of a very long number of thunderstorms, some turned into tornadoes in iowa as well, so it came up very quickly, but should it have been expected. about a half hour, 45 minutes before that storm hit, the storm watches and warnings went out. they certainly had some indication but it will all be part of the investigation. what did the captain and driver of the boat know before the first emergency calls went out at 7:09. >> what do you know about the captain of the boat, did he make it? >> reporter: the captain of the boat made it, the driver did not. the driver was taken to the hospital and expired at the hospital a short time later

joining us on the phone is cnn national correspondent miguel marquez, based out there in l.a. the scene. miguel, what do we know right now? i know details, there are few details, but what have we learned so far? >> reporter: very few details. we believe that this was somebody who was running from the police, possibly a car chase that went into the trader joe's. it is not clear whether shots have been fired, though there are some reports of shots being fired in the area. it is very disturbing, this is not just a trader joe's in los angeles, this is a trader joe's that i actually go to. it's a very, very dense area of los angeles. this is a very heavily-used trader joe's on a saturday afternoon. it would be packed with shoppers. there's another grocery store right across the street from it. it is a very busy section of los angeles between hollywood and downtown, an area of town called silverlake. it is shopping that this is happening in my own neighborhood. int it's not the sort of thing one is typically accustomed to report on, alex. >> we're looking at aerial pictures, it looks

here's one employee talking with our reporter miguel marquez about that. >> i wasn't sure if i had a viable exit on the ground floor so i proceed upstairs where we have an upstairs storage space. i moved through the storage space to a back kind of a break room that we have we wherewe have an emergency ladder. grabbed the emergency ladder, proceeded even further back to a back storage area. i grabbed a couple of my coworkers, brought them back as well. i barricaded the hallway as best i could, grabbed a weapon, and put the ladder out the window. >> wow. you know, earlier we also heard from devon fields who arrived at the trader joe's as the same time the gunman got there. listen. >> i was arriving at the trader joe's walking into the parking lot from up the street when a bunch of -- about five cop cars drove past me up the street in pursuit of someone that i did see. and i heard some pops and some gunfire and then the gunman's car came from behind me and looked like it had damage to the front bumper, was hanging about halfway off and he was trying to turn but the traffic kind of kept

miguel marquez joins us now from a federal processing center in mcallen, texas.taken place? >> reporter: since the judge ordered the government to make those reunions, zero have taken place. they say they are trying to scrub down the numbers and figure out where everybody is. they do say they know where these children are, that under 3,000 number today. the frustrating part is they will not say how many of that 3,000 were due to zero tolerance, how many were separated due to zero tolerance. the one thing they are saying is those under 5, they expect to make the judge's order. by the way, they blame the courts for making this more complicated than it needs to be. they say those under 5s, they're physically moving the parents to texas to be close to their children. if they can't make bond, if they don't get out, they are going to be housed together in a location tbd. we believe it is a military base near el paso, texas, fort bliss, where they will be housed. so that is the rough plan going forward. but as we've seen with at least these one-off reunifications of ind
