Their releases are especially significant in light of the Trump administration’s hostility toward immigrants and asylum-seekers.

This decision is a huge relief for these mothers and their children, who were forcibly separated and then reunited behind bars. After spending months in family detention, these children will now be able to play in the park, go to school, and live their lives in freedom while their asylum applications are processed.
