Trump touted the efficacy of family separations during a CNN town hall in May, and declined to rule out reinstating them. "It stopped people from coming by the hundreds of thousands because when they hear 'family separation,' they say, 'Well, we better not go.' Homan said he was not sure what he would do if Trump asked him to revive family separation. ACTIVISTS READY LEGAL FIGHTIf Trump did implement a family separation policy, he would likely face legal challenges. Mark Morgan, a top border official under Trump, said he does not believe a new Trump administration would implement a family separation policy in the way it did the first time.

The Trump administration separated thousands of children from their parents or guardians they were traveling with as it moved to criminally prosecute people for illegally crossing the southwestern border. It also crucially bars an attempt by a future administration to reenact another family separation policy,” said Gelernt. About 74% of those have been reunited with their families: 2,176 before a Biden administration task force was created and 689 afterward. Some of these benefits were already available to families under a Biden-administration created task force designed to reunite separated families. The settlement also bars future separations, which the task force did not, and Gelernt said a future administration could have disbanded the task force whereas the settlement is binding.

The agreement currently applies to some 3,900 children separated from their parents during Trump's presidency from 2017-2021, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which represents separated families in a lawsuit first filed in 2018. An estimated 500-1,000 children remain separated and the number covered by the settlement will likely expand, the ACLU said. Trump, the frontrunner to become the Republican nominee for president in 2024, has criticized Biden's handling of border security and pledged to implement hardline immigration policies if reelected. As part of the settlement, separated families will have access to temporary housing support for one year, according to court documents. The Biden administration in 2021 broke off class-wide settlement talks that would have provided monetary compensation to separated families.

Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday declined to block a lower court order lifting Covid restrictions for asylum seekers at the southern border by Wednesday. Attorneys general from 19 Republican-led states had asked the appeals court to temporarily prevent the end of restrictions known as Title 42. Since Title 42 was enacted in March 2020 by the Trump administration, migrants have been sent back to Mexico 2.4 million times. “Title 42 must end because it it is a public health law, not a border management tool,” said Lee Gelernt, the lead attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union suing to lift Title 42, in a statement. “The states seeking to keep Title 42 are acting hypocritically, to say the least, since they have opposed every COVID restriction except the one targeting vulnerable asylum seekers.”

“Because invalidation of the Title 42 Orders will directly harm the States, they now seek to intervene to offer a defense of the Title 42 policy so that its validity can be resolved on the merits, rather than through strategic surrender,” the states said in their filing Monday. Sullivan cited the Administrative Procedures Act in his ruling, and characterized Title 42 as “arbitrary and capricious.” The Biden administration indicated that it won’t oppose Sullivan’s order in a court filing last week, but requested a temporary delay in lifting Title 42. In his order, Sullivan granted the request with “great reluctance.” Title 42 is set to come to an end on Dec. 20, taking effect on midnight Dec. 21. Lee Gelernt of ACLU, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs seeking to lift Title 42, pushed back against the GOP states seeking to keep the rule in place in a statement to NBC News. The Biden administration has faced pushback from both parties for its handling of Title 42.

The judge’s order ending Title 42 isn’t scheduled to go into effect until December 21. Is there a connection between Title 42 and what’s been happening in El Paso? At this point there isn’t any known connection between the rise in crossings and the looming end of Title 42. Jose Luis Gonzalez/Reuters“We’re talking about Title 42 being lifted and what that would do here in the community. “Title 42 was never about public health, and this ruling finally ends the charade of using Title 42 to bar desperate asylum seekers from even getting a hearing,” he said in a statement.

“Title 42 was a misuse of the public health laws from the beginning and has cause grace harm to tens of thousands of desperate asylum seekers. The practical significance of the ruling cannot be overstated,” Lee Gelernt of the ACLU, one of the lead attorneys on the case to end Title 42, told NBC News on Tuesday. He added that Sullivan's ruling essentially overrides the Louisiana court’s decision to stop the Biden administration from ending Title 42. But before the Biden administration lifted the rule, U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays of the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction, blocking officials from ending it. Single adults and families encountered will continue to be expelled, where appropriate, under Title 42.”The Biden administration has faced criticism on both sides of the aisle for its handling of Title 42.

☆ Biden administration wants psychological tests for parents of separated kids

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is asking that parents of children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border undergo another round of psychological evaluations to measure how traumatized they were by the Trump-era policy, court documents show. Government investigators have said children separated from their parents showed more fear, feelings of abandonment and post-traumatic stress symptoms than children who were not separated. Biden administration officials have decried the Trump-era policies. The two sides had been negotiating a settlement, but then Biden said that families of separated children deserve some form of compensation. The Biden administration has formed a reunification task force that has reunited roughly 600 families.

Sursa foto: APJoe Biden va începe să reunească familiile migranţilor separate de politica frontalieră a lui TrumpAdministraţia americană va reuni în această săptămână patru familii de migranţi separate la frontiera dintre SUA şi Mexic sub administraţia preşedintelui Donald Trump, au declarat responsabili de la Washington, ceea ce constituie un prim pas spre realizarea unei promisiuni făcute în campania electorală de către preşedintele Joe Biden. "În ceea ce priveşte familiile pe care le vom reuni în această săptămână, copiii sunt în SUA şi părinţii li se vor alătura", a precizat ea. Trump a anulat ulterior această politică, care stârnise indignare pe plan internaţional, dar potrivit organismelor de supraveghere ale guvernului, separările începuseră înaintea adoptării acestei politici şi au continua după aceea. Biden a calificat despărţirile familiilor sub administraţia Trump drept "tragedie umană". Cele două familii sunt separate din 2017, a spus el, adăugând că reunificările din această săptămână vor fi "primele dintr-o lungă serie".
