A Brazilian mother and 9-year-old son separated at the US-Mexico border were reunited after a federal judge in Chicago ordered the US government to release the child, saying their continued time apart "irreparably harms them both."
White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told reporters on Air Force One that various federal agencies "are continuing to work through ensuring that remaining children are reunified with their parents."
At the news conference at her lawyers' office in a Chicago high-rise building, Souza was asked if she had a message for President Donald Trump. Speaking through a Portuguese translator, she responded, "Don't do this to the children."
The fitness of the mother in this case isn't questioned, he said, so dragging out processing "only serves to interfere in the family's integrity with little to no benefit to the government's interests."
