WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The US government is moving some immigrants to US-Mexico border to meet US-Mexico borderlines, US Secretary of Health Alex Azar said on Thursday.
US Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego last month ordered the government to stop separating children from immigrant parents entering the United States illegally and set an initial deadline of July 10 to reunite families.
To speed the reunification process, the Department of Homeland Security is relocating parents of children under 5 years old to detention facilities close to their children "so we can as expeditiously as possible reunite the children with their parents to meet the court's deadline , "Azar said.
