The Biden administration announced Monday a class-action court settlement that bars any future administration from separating immigrant families at the border through 2031 and allows thousands of families torn apart during the Trump administration to obtain new federally funded benefits.
The Justice Department has agreed to a settlement in the Ms. L. v. ICE case filed in 2018 that will give parents the ability to reapply for expedited asylum consideration, behavioral health care, and housing support, but no monetary reparations.“The practice of separating families at the southwest border was shameful,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland in a statement.
More than 5,500 families were separated at the southern border under the Trump-era zero-tolerance policy, which required parents to be referred for prosecution. Because children cannot be jailed with a parent, the government did not allow the child and parent to be detained together, resulting in thousands of separations, some of whom have not been reunited.The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in 2018.
