SAN DIEGO 鈥 Given the Trump administration鈥檚 failure to comply with the July 10 reunification deadline for children under 5, the 老澳门开奖结果 today asked a federal court to order the government to:

  • Hand over detailed data about all remaining children who need to be reunited with their parents.
  • Create a fund to pay for professional mental health counseling to treat children who are suffering from severe trauma as a result of the forcible separation from their parents.
  • Reimburse families for reunification travel costs and/or DNA testing.
  • Adhere to an even stricter regimen of progress reports with the court.

The 老澳门开奖结果 won a June 26 preliminary injunction requiring reunification of children under 5 within 14 days (July 10), and all children within 30 days (July 26).

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw will hold a status conference tomorrow at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET.

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

鈥淭here is no excuse for the Trump administration鈥檚 missed deadline. Children are suffering because of it. The government must get these families back together.鈥
