REPORT: Judge gives HUGE win to Trump admin on family separations

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A U.S. judge ruled Monday that the Trump administration is operating within its authority when separating families stopped at the Mexico border, rejecting arguments that it was quietly returning to widespread practices that drew international condemnation.
The American Civil Liberties Union argued that the administration was splitting families over dubious allegations and minor transgressions including traffic offenses.
The article goes on to state the following:
It asked the judge in July to rule on whether the government was justified in separating 911 children during the first year after the judge halted the general practice in June 2018.
“It is an invitation that is potentially massive in scope, invades an area that is particularly within the province of the executive branch to secure the nation’s border, and goes beyond this court’s class certification and preliminary injunction orders, which were focused on the administration’s practice of separating families at the border for the purpose of deterring immigration, and failing to reunify those families,” U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw wrote in a 26-page decision, indicating he won’t second-guess the government’s decisions as he found no evidence it was abusing its discretion.
The ACLU was handed a win as the judge said the government must settle doubts about parentage before separating families.
The government separates children “on grounds that parents were considered unfit or dangerous, or in other limited circumstances like criminal history, communicable diseases and doubts about parentage,” Yahoo reports.
