A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to return three migrant families who were deported after being affected by the Trump administration's family separation policy, according to CBS News. The deportations were declared "unlawful" by U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw, an appointee of former President George W. Bush. This ruling stems from a court settlement designed to provide benefits to those impacted by the policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, a policy that was scrapped in 2018.
