Brenda Garcia: Detention Centres and Va .,

brenda garcia: Brenda Garcia is reunited with her 7-year-old son, Kevin, at Washington Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Va., in June, according to Toronto Star. Dozens of immigrant children will be released from detention centres and reunited with their parents Tuesday. It was the largest single effort to date to undo the effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's zero-tolerance policy of separating families who try to slip across the Mexican border into the country. RYAN CHRISTOPHER JONES / The New York Times More than 50 children under five-years-old could be back in the arms of their parents by the deadline at the end of the day, the Justice Department said. Government attorneys returned to federal court in San Diego on Tuesday to seek an extension for releasing 20 other children under age five, saying officials need more time to track down parents who have already been deported or released into the U.S. Asked about the missed deadline, Trump said Well, I have a solution. Authorities gave few details on where the reunions would be held, and many were expected to take place in private. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
