Potentially thousands more parents and children the US government split up at the southern border will now be included in a lawsuit over family separations, a judge ruled
US District Judge Dana Sabraw's 14-page ruling is a major blow to the Trump administration, which had argued that a new group of separated families revealed in a government watchdog report shouldn't be included in the case. The report from the Health and Human Services inspector general had found that thousands more children had been separated than previously acknowledged.
As of March 4, 2,741 of 2,816 children have been discharged from government care.471 parents were deported from US without their children during family separationsBut recent revelations have raised more questions about when separations began taking place and how many more families were separated.Following the HHS IG report, plaintiffs in the Ms. L case requested that the scope be clarified to include those children.Sabraw cited the IG report in his order.
