(CNN)It could take up to two years for the government to identify potentially thousands of additional immigrant families US authorities separated at the southern border, officials said in a court filing.

The government's proposed plan, detailed for the first time in documents filed late Friday night, outlines a strategy for piecing together exactly who might have been separated by combing through thousands of records using a mix of data analysis and manual review.

The court filing comes a year after a memo from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially created the administration's "zero tolerance" policy, which eventually led to the separation of thousands of immigrant families. While a federal court order forced the reunification of many of those families, an explosive government watchdog report in January revealed there could be thousands more who hadn't previously been acknowledged by officials.

And a federal judge last month ruled that this group should be included in the class-action lawsuit over family separations.

That's ANOTHER two years, on top of the time -- more than a year -- these children have already been separated from their parents.

1. no one thought to tag these prisoners?

hospital wristbands? fingerprints? dna? bar code tatoo? microship?

2. "Prisoners" ?????

You imply that these innocent children are somehow guilty of breaking the law ?? Is it their mere existence that bothers you or the fact that their parents were trying to provide them with a safer, better quality of life ?

You may leave now.

10. Can we just stop that?

The word "prisoners" does not suggest innocence or guilt; it denotes imprisonment.

I'm getting a little tired of the Left doing this: (1) Person A says something; (2) Person B immediately seeks out the worst possible interpretation, over which to become hostile and indignant; (3) others dogpile on Person A for [s]dressing like that[/s] using the "wrong" word when in fact they did nothing wrong whatsoever.

Leave that anti-thinking nonsense to the teabaggers.

12. thank you grok

i meant nothing by "prisoners" except that they are imprisoned.

[rampartc]

11. i merely "omply" that these children are in cages

there are many innocent prisoners, all over the world.

if we allow them to be caged we must have a system to ifrntify them.

5. You might want to consider choosing your words more carefully if

you intend to remain a member for long as it could potentially cause you conflict here on the site.
You are of course free to ignore that advice as it's just advice.

13. i can see that

my apology above should be sufficient.

3. The Trump family should be 100% personally financially liable for the children's care

and the cost to reunite them.

4. They designed it this way for maximum effect. No doubt.

6. These DHS People Are Downright Vile

Nobody could possibly be that stupid.

You assign the same ID number to all family members and add a unique qualifier number, such as 1-2-3-4 etc. You also take a photograph of each family as they are entered into the system. It is not rocket science and yet nobody could think of such simple precautions? People aren't that stupid but they can be that vile.

7. This is so horrifying. Stolen years

From a child and PTSD for life.
Another thing this should be the top post so kick and recommend.

[Exotiki]

8. This is torture

No less.

[catrose]

9. Then they better get started

Sunday Schools and Chucky Cheese keep better track of kids.

This must be deliberate, because we have these things called computers that are real good at keeping track of data.

[democrank]

14. Trump's despicable cruelty on full display

How much lower can we sink?

[Mc Mike]

15. But we do have these nifty spread sheets charting all the immigrant girls' menstrual activity.

THAT, we could keep records on.

Lying nazi pigs.

[bluestarone]

16. EVERY person involved in this treatment of families should

Be investigated and CHARGED with kidnapping!!
