A federal judge in California on Friday approved a court settlement that will prohibit federal U.S. border officials from reviving the Trump-era "zero tolerance" family separation policy for the next eight years.

Under the settlement between the American Civil Liberties Union and the Biden administration, the federal government will be barred from separating migrant families solely for the purposes of prosecuting the parents for entering the U.S. illegally. There are limited exceptions to the eight-year ban, such as when a parent poses a risk to their children.

Remain in Mexico is a much more important/effective policy. This one was more punitive than effective.

The problem is asylum, which is mandated by our international agreements.

We'd basically have to withdraw from the Geneva Convention to effectively do anything about asylum abuse.

A future administration should not recognize this as binding in any way.
The Biden administration has no constitutional authority to obligate a future administration except through legislation (changing the law) or by treaty (which requires ratification by the Senate).

DNA testing to prove relation was also thrown out.
What a waste of voting GOPe, who for 30 years campaigned on fixing this.

If family separation is not allowed then it is imperative that those families not be allowed to enter the U.S. at all. The British government had the idea to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as a safe third country. Perhaps the U.S. Government could make a similar deal.
