Hundreds of migrant children still in U.S. custody
Now that more than 1,800 immigrant children 5 years and older have reunited with their parents, the U.S. government must decide how to handle the 700 or so kids who remain separated from their families.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw, who ordered the reunification of illegal immigrant families, will consider a request by the American Civil Liberties Union to give the families at least a week to decide whether to seek asylum. The Trump administration opposes the waiting period, and Sabraw put a temporary hold on deportations while considering the issue.
