DHS Had No Database to Track Migrant Children Separated From Their Parents

However, inspectors ?found no evidence such a database exists.? What they instead found was a flawed ?manually-compiled spreadsheet? prone to human error.
There was also a lack of communication between each agency. For example, CBP officers had to report their information about immigrants on Microsoft Word documents and email them to HHS, a manual process ?vulnerable to human error? and ?increasing the risk that a child could become lost in the system, the report said.
