US progress in reuniting migrant families 'disappointing', says judge

The federal judge overseeing the reunification of more than 2,500 migrant families separated by Donald Trump’s administration said the government’s efforts were “disappointing” – and it was its responsibility to unite them. Hundreds of families remain separated a week after the court’s reunification deadline because the parents are no longer in the US or have been deemed ineligible for reunification by the government. “The reality is that for every parent who is not located there will be a permanently orphaned child and that is 100% the responsibility of the administration,” said the US district judge Dana Sabraw in his San Diego court on Friday.
