Biden Admin in Talks to Compensate Families Who Were Separated at Border Under Trump
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In immigration news, The Wall Street Journal reports the Biden
administration is in negotiations to pay millions of dollars in
reparations to families who were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border
under Trump's "zero tolerance" policy. The payments would amount to
$450,000 per person. This comes as part of efforts to settle several
lawsuits filed on behalf of hundreds of separated parents and children,
who say they are still suffering from emotional distress, trauma and
psychological harm.
