BORDER/CHILDREN/IMMIGRATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We’ve seen a flurry of recent activity in efforts to reunite migrant children removed from their parents. But with all the legal and political wranglings, the latest developments can be difficult to follow. Here’s a quick look at what’s new and what’s next: What’s the latest? — The US government hasn’t been able to find the parents of 71 children who were likely separated from their families, a Health and Human Services official said Monday {7-16-18] …He told a federal judge on Monday that of the 2,551 kids in federal custody believed to be separated, officials have confirmed matches with 2,480 parents. — White said 1,609 such parents are in government custody. That means potentially hundreds of parents have either been deported or released already, or may be in federal or state criminal custody. — US District Judge Dana Sabraw has ordered the government to temporarily halt the deportations of reunited families in light of a newly filed emergency motion.”
