Federal Court Criticizes Trump Administration For Lax Family Reunification Effort
SAN DIEGO 鈥� A federal judge today called out the Trump administration for losing track of hundreds of parents it deported without their children or can鈥檛 locate.
During today鈥檚 status conference, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw said: 鈥淭he reality is that for every parent who is not located, there will be a permanently orphaned child鈥� and that is 鈥�100 percent the responsibility鈥� of the administration.
The 老澳门开奖结果 won a nationwide injunction requiring reunification of children under 5 by July 10 and all children by July 26. The Trump administration failed to reunite hundreds of families by those deadlines.
鈥淭he judge is refusing to let the government off the hook for the mess it made,鈥� said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥� Rights Project.
He added that the Trump administration has been withholding information that could be helpful in locating these parents and reuniting them with their children.
鈥淓very day the government has sat on this information has been another day of suffering for these families,鈥� said Gelernt.
