A federal judge in California has given President Donald Trump's administration a deadline to reunite migrant children who were separated from their parents.
This Tuesday, in the Federal District Court of San Diego, Judge Dana M. Sabraw ruled that children of five years or less must meet with their parents within a period of no more than 14 days. The same must happen with those over the age of five within a period not exceeding 30 days. Likewise, it was dictated that the parents of said children should speak to their children within 10 days.
"The sad reality is that under the current system, migrant children are not counted with the same efficiency and precision as properties," said the magistrate, as reported by The New York Times.
"This is a tremendous victory for parents and children who thought they would never see each other again," said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civili Liberties Union (ACLU). "Tears ran in the country's detention centers when families learned that they will soon reunite them."
The organization is leading the fight against the zero tolerance policy under which more than 2,100 children have been separated from their parents when crossing the border.
The mandate provides that in the future only those minors who cross the border without papers and whose parents are abusive are separated. or that it is proven that separating them from their parents is in the best interest of the minor.
The mandate is expected to provoke a bitter fight in court before being approved.
