A judge overseeing the reuniting of about 2,500 migrant parents and children separated during a border crossing crackdown ordered a temporary halt to deportations of these families.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw issued the directive during a hearing Monday in San Diego after the American Civil Liberties Union complained it was hearing that the Trump administration planned rumors of immediate "mass deportations" for migrant parents after they’re reunited with their children.
