In February, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Trump administration on behalf of a Congolese woman seeking asylum in the U.S. and was separated from her 7-year-old daughter.
In a statement, Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, commented, “This ruling is an enormous victory for parents and children who thought they may never see each other again. Tears will be flowing in detention centers across the country when the families learn they will be reunited.”
