Judge rejects blanket delay to reunite children at border
Source: AP
SAN DIEGO (AP) A judge on Friday refused to grant the Trump administration a blanket extension of the deadline to reunite children separated from their parents at the border, instead acknowledging that more time may be justified only in specific cases.
The administration said it needed more time to reunite 101 children under 5 years old to ensure the childrens safety and to confirm their parental relationships.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the administration to share a list of the 101 children with the American Civil Liberties Union, which successfully sued to force the reunions, by Saturday afternoon. The two sides will try to determine over the weekend which cases merit a delay in an effort to present a unified front in court on Monday morning.
The government must reunite them, the judge said. It must comply with the time frame unless there is an articulable reason.

(23,003 posts)They never intended to reunite, intending to steal the young children, so there is zero tracking and a lot of them don't speak Spanish or English, only speaking dialects of their native region. Some, especially the babies and toddlers, have already been placed in foster homes so aren't part of this even though they are stolen from their parents. Also lots of parents have been deported and now can't be located, again on purpose.
