Liberties Union: Parents and Government

liberties union: He pointed out that many of the families were reunited while in custody then turned his attention to 431 children whose parents have been deported, according to The Chronicle Herald. The government is at fault for losing several hundred parents in the process and that's where we go next, the judge said. U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw said the government gets great credit after reunifying more than 1,800 children 5 and over with parents or sponsors by Thursday's court-imposed deadline. Sabraw ordered the government and the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the parents, to submit written updates every Thursday on still-separated families. In late June, the judge gave the government 14 days to reunify children under 5 and 30 days to reunite children 5 and older with their families. The order signalled slightly looser oversight than Sabraw imposed last month with frequent hearings to make sure his deadline was met. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
