The Government of the United States spread to more than 2,500 children from their parents this year once President Donald Trump Government adopted a policy of “zero tolerance” demanded to prosecute anyone who crossed the border illegally. This resulted in that the parents, who had to submit to a federal court for one misdemeanor illegal entry to the country, were separated from their children, often for months. The policy provoked harsh criticism around the world and Trump ended up removing it. A federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against the Government gave authorities until July 26 to reunify families.

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security denied similar accusations in the past. A Department spokesman did not respond immediately to a request for comments made outside office hours.
