ACLU: 911 children separated at border since judge ordered practice to be sharply curtailed last year
SAN DIEGO — More than 900 children have been separated from their families at the border since a judge ordered that the practice be sharply curtailed, the American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday.
The group said 911 children had been separated from their families from June 28, 2018, to June 29 of this year. They include 678 whose parents faced allegations of criminal conduct. Other reasons include alleged gang affiliation, unfitness or child safety concerns,"unverified familial relationship" or parent illness.In June 2018, U.S.
The ACLU, which based its findings on reports that the administration provided, asked that the judge order the government to clarify its criteria for splitting families. One parent was separated for a $5 theft that resulted in a six-day jail sentence, the ACLU said. Six parents were separated for convictions of marijuana possession. Eight were split for fraud and forgery offenses.
A government spreadsheet shows 44 separations were based on assault allegations. In 11 cases, there is no indication that the parent was convicted and 34 don't indicate the severity of the offense, the ACLU said.
