DHS Secretary Mayorkas announced that a handful of migrant families that were separated at the border by the Trump administration will be allowed to reunify in the U.S. this week. The four families will be the first to be reunified through a task force that was created by President Biden shortly after taking office in January. The families came from Honduras and Mexico, and some had been separated as far back as 2017. The executive director of the family reunification task force, longtime human rights advocate Michelle Brané, said the parents would be given temporary permission to enter the U.S. through a process known as humanitarian parole. Immigrant advocates welcomed the announcement, but expressed frustration at the slow pace of reunification.

lawyers working to reunite immigrant parents and children separated by the Trump administration reported that they have found the parents of 105 children in the past month. The committee of pro-bono lawyers and advocates working on reunification said it had yet to find the parents of 506 children, down from 611 on Jan. 14, the last time it reported data to a federal judge overseeing the process. The lawyers said the parents of about 322 of the 506 children are believed to have been deported, making it more difficult to find them. The Biden administration recently formed a task force that will be responsible for finding and reuniting the families. DOJ lawyers said they expect the task force to resolve most outstanding issues.

According to a new Inspector General report published on June 2, DHS reported only a fraction of the families who were separated at the border by CBP. The government watchdog found that at least 60 families were separated in May-June 2018, when DHS had reported only 7. These separations occurred at the height of the Trump administration’s now-ended “zero tolerance” policy. CBP took issue with the report’s suggestion that CBP separated families without regard to their health, safety, and reunification.

Mother Jones reports on ICE’s use of family separation outside of the context of the “zero-tolerance” border policy, sharing the story of a woman who was detained with her 2-year-old daughter after they fled Honduras. The mother passed her credible fear interview, and then her daughter was separated from her because the mother was found to be a safety risk to her child, presumably based on information she provided during her interview

A group of fathers who were reunited with their children after being separated by ICE were then separated a second time after the fathers refused to sign paperwork to withdraw their children’s immigration cases and be deported together. It is despicable what ICE is doing. Unfortunately, they seem to have the go ahead from Trump.

There are various issues as to what they might qualify for. However, if they are under 21, they can climb on the petitions of their parents. Thus, we would have to see what the parents might qualify for. If the child is under 18 years and 6 months, they should consider leaving the U.S. because they would not be subject to the 3/10 year bar.

Child citizenship act
Child deportation
Once I file a family based immigration petition, can I add additional family members to it?
