El Salvador: San Salvador and Trump Administration

el salvador: May they leave the shelters as soon as possible, because it is there that they are the most vulnerable, Deputy Foreign Relations Minister Liduvina Magarin said in San Salvador on Thursday, according to CTV. The U.S. government already is facing heavy criticism over its slow pace in reuniting more than 2,600 children who were separated from their parents last spring before the Trump administration agreed to stop the practice. The government of El Salvador said the three, ages 12 to 17, were victimized at shelters in Arizona, and it asked the U.S. to make their return a priority. Most have since been reunited, but hundreds remain apart more than a month after the deadline set by a judge. Magarin gave few details on the three cases other than to say they involved sexual violations, sexual abuses. Before the Trump administration reversed course, many of the parents had been deported to their home countries while their children remained in shelters in the U.S. Attorneys for the U.S. government and the immigrant families discussed how to accelerate the process at a hearing Friday in San Diego in front of U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw, who set the deadline.
