U.S. government agrees to settlement with migrant families separated at the border
The U.S. government has agreed to compensate thousands of migrant families who were forced apart at the southern border in 2017 and 2018 as part of the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy.
The class-action settlement with the ACLU was filed Monday in federal court in San Diego. It's a milestone in the years-long battle over family separations.

According to NPR today the families won’t receive money. They will get work visas and an interview with an asylum officer. No actual compensation for the years of trauma caused by being separated from your kids or parents. It’s monstrous. The explanation on why there is no financial compensation was that the republicans were against the cost. They are truly evil people. The absolute lack of humanity makes me physically sick.
