The Biden administration discontinued mandated separation, but for some families who arrive in Texas, it's still happening, according to an immigration attorney.
A Colombian migrant family reunites at Los Angeles International Airport.A Colombian migrant father reunited with his partner and 10-year-old daughter in Los Angeles after being apart for more than two weeks following their separation by U.S. border authorities in Texas.
The Biden administration discontinued the mandated separation, but for some families who arrive in Texas, it's still happening, according to Margaret Cargioli, directing attorney at Immigrant Defenders Law Center. "We told them we had formal legal document of our civil union from Colombia. They gave us bracelets and separated us from the group we arrived with. In that moment, no one explained anything to us," Ambar said.. They didn't give me an explanation where they were taking him. The only response I was given was that's how the laws are here," Ambar said."I didn't want to leave, and I cried like never before," Jaen said.
Unknown to Ambar at the time, the long bus ride to Los Angeles was part of a policy that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott established just over a year ago. More than 30,000 migrants have been bused from Texas to Democrat-led cities across the country. Cargioli disagrees, saying that the city needs to work with "community members and organizations that are able to assist" and expand federal policies to help asylum seekers better assimilate in their communities.
"The Biden administration has not opened at the border as we've known it prior to the Trump administration. They've continued to use restrictive measures," Cargioli said.
