A federal judge on Thursday gave the Trump administration six months to identify potentially thousands of immigrant children it ripped from their families under the so-called “zero tolerance” border policy.
The Trump administration previously said it could take two years to identify the separated children, but U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw sided with the ACLU, which sought the six-month deadline.
“This order shows that the court continues to recognize the gravity of this situation,” Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said in a statement.
The immigrant rights coalition Families Belong Together applauded the judge’s decision as “good news” and vowed to work to ensure the White House meets the October 25 deadline.
