The latest status report is in re: the govt's progress meeting a judge's family reunification order. It includes numbers provided earlier by DOJ, saying 57 children under 5 have been reunited. But the ACLU says they haven't been able to verify this assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4598…
DOJ's report includes a detailed breakdown of why certain parents were considered ineligible to be part of the class for reunification. Reasons range from an outstanding DUI warrant to a murder warrant, a determination an adult was not a parent, danger to the child, disease
It appears the government is still trying to figure out what's going on with one child whose parent may be a US citizen (in an earlier filing, the govt said the child may be a US citizen) — filing today says child was separated from her parent in 2015 when the parent was arrested
For parents who were already removed from the US, the government said it couldn't give a firm time frame for when they might be able to reunify those families — they're working with the ACLU to try to find them
Today's filing doesn't include any new info on the estimated number of kids 5-17 who may fall under Sabraw's order — reunification deadline is July 26. Govt says it has agreed to give the ACLU a list of identified class members by Friday
ACLU says it is aware of "troubling situations" involving reunited families, incl. a parent left alone at a bus stop with her kids, ICE refusing counsel to be present at a reunification, tech difficulties, parents asked to pay costs
ACLU says the govt conceded it was non-compliant, noting some children were reunited after the July 10 deadline. ACLU proposed 7 remedies going forward, incl. deadlines for turning over info and doing parent verification, daily reports, and notice of upcoming reunifications
Another hearing before Judge Sabraw is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Earlier today from @ambiej: buzzfeed.com/amberjamieson/… And from earlier this week: buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/the…
