Texas: Asylum Seeker and 4-Year-Old Child Reunited After 8 Months
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, a Salvadoran mother and her 4-year-old son have been reunited
under court order, eight months after immigration agents separated them
at the border. The pair entered the country earlier this year, seeking
asylum from extreme violence and persecution, but were soon separated.
Four months ago, they were deemed "ineligible" to reunite due to a
supposed arrest warrant in El Salvador. Recent reports reveal families
are still being separated as they enter the U.S., months after a judge
ordered a halt to the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy.
