NEW YORK 鈥 An agreement was reached overnight on asylum rights for families separated by the Trump administration. The legal challenge remains ongoing but the agreement, if approved by the court, may allow many separated families to seek asylum.

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥 Rights Project, had this reaction:

鈥淭his agreement would give many families a second chance at seeking asylum and leaves open the possibility for some deported parents to return to the United States. The Trump administration will never be able to erase the full damage of its family separation policy, but this agreement is an important step toward restoring and protecting the asylum rights of impacted children and parents going forward.鈥

The parties will be back in court tomorrow.
