A federal judge in San Francisco ordered the Trump administration to resume processing the applications of more than 2,700 young Central Americans and family members who had been left in limbo.
Andrea, 22, and her son Mateo, 4, watch videos in their Orange County home. She was a beneficiary of President Obama's Central American Minors program, which the Trump administration ended in August 2017.
One of the plaintiffs is a woman known as S.A., whose youngest daughter and grandson were set to arrive in February 2017 after she paid nearly $5,000 for their flights, DNA tests and other program requirements before the administration blocked their travel. After applying for the program, S.A.’s daughter, identified in the lawsuit as J.A., temporarily fled her hometown three hours from San Salvador after receiving threats from gang members. Now J.A. rarely leaves home and relies on money her mother sends her to survive.“That has been my desire since I left them — to be together once again,” she said.
