Rumors of immediate "mass deportations" from the U.S. planned for migrant parents after they’re reunited with their children prompted the American Civil Liberties Union to seek an emergency order from a judge barring such removals for a week.
The proposed delay will give parents the time they need to decide whether to take their children back to their home countries or leave them in the U.S. to seek asylum on their own, the rights group said in a filing Monday in federal court in San Diego.
