Original Note:
The DNA testing program was not ongoing, it was 3 days in May 2019. The sample size was only 84 and the total number of families found to be "fake" was 16, or 19%. The 1/3 figure may have come from the 1/3 of 100 found to be fake prior to that using document screening, not DNA. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/26/ken-cuccinelli/trump-administration-using-dna-tests-crack-down-fa/
