U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw has given the Trump administration six months, until October 25th, to identify the thousands of children it has separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border:
“It is important for all government actors to have a timeframe, a deadline,” he said. “You tend to stand on it.”
