Forcing families that have already suffered the immense trauma of being wrenched apart and jailed separately for weeks to wait even longer before they are reunited, the Trump administration is on pace to unify less than half of detained children under five years old with their parents before Tuesday’s court-imposed deadline, the ACLU said late Sunday.

“It’s extremely disappointing that the Trump administration looks like it will fail to reunite even half the children under five with their parent.”

“It’s extremely disappointing that the Trump administration looks like it will fail to reunite even half the children under five with their parent,” ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt told the Associated Press. “These kids have already suffered so much because of this policy, and every extra day apart just adds to that pain.”

As Common Dreams reported, a federal judge ruled late last month that the Trump administration must reunite children under the age of five within 14 days and all of the nearly 3,000 children it separated from their parents within 30 days.
