Overnight, ACLU Rightly Says Two Years Is TOO LONG To Wait -- To Find The Remaining Up To 47,000 Kids...

In advance of next Tuesday's hearing in the Ms. L. federal undocumented families' class action settlement, the able Judge Sabaw has received a new status report, from the parties, as of last night.

The ACLU for its part forcefully contests the Trump claim that it may take the government two full years to find as many as 47,000 additional children who were not identified as class members when the October 2018 settlement was signed. At that time there were potentially about 4,200 class members known (as likely entitled to relief), but not yet processed.

. . . .Plaintiffs' Position: On April 5, the government submitted its plan to identify the pre-June 26 separated families referenced in the internal HHS report. The plan gives the government up to two years to identify the families. . . .

Plaintiffs believe that is unacceptable and that the families can be identified much more quickly. In advance of the upcoming hearing next week, Plaintiffs intend to submit specific reasons why the government does not need two years and how the identification process can be completed in far less time. . . .

Do go read the entire 18 page status report -- I'm out of pocket for the rest of the weekend. Smile.
