White House faces hard deadline on reunited migrant families

[spanone]

MCALLEN, Texas — The clock is ticking for the Trump administration after a federal judge ordered the thousands of migrant children and parents who were forcibly separated at the Mexican border reunited within 30 days, sooner for youngsters under 5.

The hard deadline was set Tuesday night by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego after President Donald Trump’s order ending his policy of separating families gave way to days of uncertainty, conflicting information and no word from the administration on when parents might see their children again.

“This situation has reached a crisis level,” Sabraw wrote.

The ruling poses a host of logistical problems for the administration, and it was unclear how it would meet the deadline.

1. I'll just go ahead and predict

that they will miss that deadline bigly. They are already trying to explain how they are on supposedly solid legal footing with indefinite detention.

2. I think that is a safe prediction....

3. I'm hearing horror stories that there has been

very poor record keeping and many parents have no idea where their children are, and the administration doesn't know either.

4. they had no plan for reunification....they didn't care if the kids saw their parents again.

5. Ah the part of 'family' values

Their families, they mean, not "those others"

6. Then I guess the WH is gonna get its bigly-hugest self slapped with a contempt charge.

Good.
