US judge suspends deportation of reunited families | World

Dana Sabraw, the federal judge who ordered the surrender of nearly 3,000 children to their families before July 26, responded to an amparo appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) supposed to plan to expel these families from the country without due process.

The Department of Justice (DoJ) has until July 23 to respond to this lawsuit.

It is estimated that between 2,500 and 3,000 children were separated from the adult with whom they were crossing the border illegally as part of a "zero tolerance" policy led by the president. Donald Trump, came to power with a -immigrants.

The government badured Thursday that it had reunited with his family all children under five "eligible" to be returned.

Sabraw ordered that all children under the age of five be returned to their families by July 10. And gave a deadline until the 26th of the same month for all the majors of this age to be returned.

On Friday, the judge told the court that he believed that there was "good faith" on the part of the authorities in keeping with his decision.

Of the 103 children under the age of five covered by the court order, 57 were sent back to their parents to comply with the requirements established by law, while 46 were found to be "ineligible", said the Department of Homeland Security.

Of the remaining 46 under the auspices of the government, 22 remain under their protection because of the security concerns of the adults involved – 11 of whom had a serious criminal record of murder, cruelty to children, trafficking in persons or domestic violence – and 24 adults were not able to receive them.
