(Undated) — About 27-hundred children living in Central America will be reunited with their parents in the United States after a court settlement with the Trump administration. According to court documents, that settlement comes after a lawsuit challenged the administration’s decision in 2017 to shut down the Central American Minors program, which allowed legally residing parents in the U.S. to request refugee status for their children in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Most of those parents are in the country under temporary protected status. The settlement, established by a judge in San Francisco, requires that the government finish processing the children who were finalizing their application when the program was shuttered.
