Judge Orders 1-Week Halt to Deportation of Reunified Migrant Families
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Diego, federal Judge Dana Sabraw has ordered a 1-week halt to the
deportation of migrant families who have been reunited after being
separated by immigration officials at the border. The ruling came after
the American Civil Liberties Union raised concern about "mass
deportations" following the reunification of migrant children and their
parents, many of whom are seeking asylum in the U.S. In total, up to
3,000 children were separated from their parents, hundreds of whom may
have already been deported.
