Trump administration releases plan to reunite migrant children with parents azc.cc/2tpwyJa
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has “dedicated the Port Isabel Service Processing Center as the primary family reunification and removal center for adults in their custody.”
Earlier, @DiannaNanez reported that both Trump and attorneys for detained migrants have called for a similar fix: "stopping family separations by keeping children and parents together in detention centers." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
Meanwhile, children as young as age 5 continue to face immigration judges to be deported. @azdangonzalez watched them on Friday: "Their feet dangled from the benches without touching the floor." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
Those who arrive seeking asylum face backups at the ports of entry. @Laura_GomezRod and @theseanlogan saw they "are being processed by U.S. immigration officials at a much slower pace than they are arriving." azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
And @rebeccaplevin and @fotornelas talked to people waiting 3 to 4 weeks to make an asylum claim at the border. They say they're fleeing violence in Michoacán and Guerrero: "Now they're killing kids and women indiscriminately." desertsun.com/story/news/201…
As for others who crossed the border and were apprehended: Some parents have already been deported without their children. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
Under plans announced tonight, parents who are deported may request their children go with them. But HHS says "in the past many parents have elected to be removed without their children."
