The settlement also offers aid to once-separated families so that they may apply to stay in the United States permanently. Those who were deported may apply to come back. Their immigration records will be cleared, giving them a fresh start on applying for humanitarian protection such as asylum.
Once they are in the United States, formerly separated families may apply for three-year work permits, six months of housing assistance, and one year of medical care, according to the settlement. The families also are eligible for three years of counseling under the settlement.
U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw during a hearing Friday approved the settlement and said he would issue an order Monday.
Sabraw, a Republican nominee, initially declared the separations unlawful in June 2018, after then-president Donald Trump halted them amid widespread condemnation from world leaders and members of the president’s own Republican party. Sabraw ordered the government to reunite the families and oversaw that effort for more than five years.
