A federal judge on Monday ordered a temporary halt to any deportations of immigrant families who were reunited after being separated by the Trump administration at the border.
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw imposed a delay of at least a week after a request from the American Civil Liberties Union, which cited "persistent and increasing rumors ... that mass deportations may be carried out imminently and immediately upon reunification."
Justice Department attorney Scott Stewart opposed the delay but did not address the rumors in court. He said he would respond later in writing. The judge gave the department until next Monday.
Late last month, Sabraw ordered the government to reunite thousands of children and parents who were forcibly separated in recent months under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy toward those who illegally cross into the U.S. He set a deadline of July 10 for roughly 100 children under age 5 and gave the government until July 26 to reunite more than 2,500 older youngsters.
The Trump administration reunited about half the under-5 children by last week, saying that in many of the remaining cases, the adults had criminal records or were determined not to be the youngsters' parents at all.
In asking for a delay in deportations, the ACLU said parents need a week after being reunified with their children to decide whether to pursue asylum.
The decision "cannot be made until parents not only have had time to fully discuss the ramifications with their children, but also to hear from the child's advocate or counsel, who can explain to the parent the likelihood of the child ultimately prevailing in his or her own asylum case if left behind in the U.S. (as well as where the child is likely to end up living)," the ACLU said.

Someone should play “Hail to the Chief” when this judge takes the bench.
Impeach this lunatic!
Now if the offer demanded an abortion, this judge would order their wish fulfilled my immediately
Wait a cotton picking minute!! Can I say that?
Now they will separate the children from their parents if the child can prevail alone on an asylum application?
I thought that was too traumatic for the children?
The LEFT just wants to return to the way it was, Open borders/Catch and Release, any way they can.
Thank you, sir...
Yep, 30 million illegals in country, who could possibly guess what would be done with them, if our laws were followed?

You gotta love Thomas. Seems to me he’s getting really frustrated with this crap.

So so so sick of this.
Might actually be a better judge than some we’ve got now.
I’m from West Texas ranch country, near the border, lived in a far NW burb of SA for some years-hubby was in the military and later his civilian job was there, too-but we simply could not stand living in the city itself, and escaped to here some years ago-I don’t go to SA unless my guy insists it is my turn to spend time at his place-and work is my reason to only stay 24hrs-I hate the traffic, the noise, smell of exhaust fumes and the light pollution-in my humble opinion, it is a dangerous and totally unhealthy place to live...
My best friend and employer is from a ranch in the mountains of Oregon, near the Calii border, but he has been an adopted Texan for nearly 45 years-he visits his family in Oregon every year, but he avoids any cities there-it makes him sad to see what a liberal s***hole his home state has become...
