Judge orders U.S. to reunite families, stop border separations

The judge blamed the "chaotic circumstance of the government's own making" for the turmoil surrounding the separation of migrant children from their parents.

A federal judge in San Diego ordered immigration agents on Tuesday to stop separating migrant parents and children who have crossed the border from Mexico and to work to reunite families that have already been split up while in custody.

U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo and backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which was expanded to become a class action as U.S. authorities began a "zero tolerance" policy in early May.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to end the family separations last Wednesday, but the government has yet to reunite about 2,000 children with their parents.

Hope this goes to the Supreme Court also.

Do not separate them, as they catch them at the border, just turned them around and push them all immediately out of the US.

Oh, look - another Federal judge-president has popped up!

[kiryandil]

Another “feckless 0bama” feral judge, appointed by the “feckless 0bama” George W. Duush.

[donna]

So, leave them with their possible kidnapper until when?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Appointed by George W. Bush.

[Reno89519]

Didn’t court just clarify Trump’s authority? And these people should be turned back. Give them option to return to Mexico or go to jail. NEVER let them loose in America.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well you majesty, what if the idiots are separating themselves by turning their kids over to a bunch of “coyotes”. What the hell should we do then?

[kiryandil]

Appointed by George W. Bush.

You misspelled Duush, the "feckless 0bama".

[Yo-Yo]

Since when did district judges feel empowered to make national decisions?

[kiryandil]

juck the fudge.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’m certainly no expert, but my understanding is that the judge doesn’t have the legal authority to do that. Not that that stops a black robed oligarch.

[kiryandil]

Since they all became “federal judge-presidents”...

"U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo "

What a country, eh? This 'judge' needs to be deported.

[FlingWingFlyer]

you = your. Common mistake when typing on the internet.

[Mount Athos]

Let’s reunite them together in mexico

[CatOwner]

Predicted earlier today.

[blueplum]

sorry Judge, no legislating from the bench.

Real families can apply for asylum thru the embassy or their own consulate in their own countries.

If they are showing up here without the mom or without the dad to apply for asylum we can assume we are enabling kidnapping and child trafficking. Not to mention the trauma of being torn from a family.

Kids may be crying for their moms, but in many cases they’re crying for their Daddys, or their other siblings.

The real authority in Donald J,
Trump. Let’s see what he rules!! ( quickly Donald),

[Governor Dinwiddie]

WTF Congo? Why? Since the Congo is surrounded by dozens of other countries, why does she travel 10,000 miles to San Diego for asylum? Who pays these air fares for the fambly? Even worse is that she is breeding. More anchor babies parasites.

[Leaning Right]

The judge has made his ruling. Now let him try to enforce it.
