The Filing from the Justice Department (DOJ) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), is part of an effort to Identify and Reunite Families, Three years after the so-called Zero-Tolerance Policy was Created.
Since September, the Parents of 33 of those Children, whose whereabouts had been previously unknown, have been Found, according to Wednesday's Filing.
The Biden Administration has committed to helping reunite Families, as part of a Family Reunification Task Force.
Since the Creation of the Task Force, 58 Children have been Reunified with their Parents in the US, according to the Filing.
As part of the effort:
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has established a Process for accepting Parole Requests.
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working on facilitating Services to support Families.
- The State Department is developing a Streamlined System for processing In-Country Travel Document Requests.
- The DOJ is involved in related Settlement Negotiation Efforts.
The Biden Administration also launched a New Website in September, to help reunite families. The Website, Together.gov.
The Site provides a Registration Form for Families seeking to Reunite and Information for Attorneys, as well as who Qualifies. DHS previously listed Information on its own Website.
