@ACLU The @ACLU and the Trump admin will be back in court tomorrow afternoon. The vast majority of the hundreds of still-separated families can be swiftly reunified in their country of origin. At issue is a small number of parents who want to return and pursue an asylum claim.

@ACLU Also, the @ACLU argues that children who have a legitimate asylum claim have the right to have a parent with them as they go through the process.

@ACLU Basically, the @ACLU is trying to argue that the migrant families are entitled to all the due process steps that would have happened if they were never illegally separated in the first place. Whether the court will order some parents to be returned to the U.S. is unclear.
