A federal judge in California ordered a temporary halt to all deportations of reunited families separated at the border by the Trump administration.
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw called for a delay of at least a week after the American Civil Liberties Union cautioned that the Trump administration may immediately deport families once they were reunited.
Judge Sabraw took Justice Department lawyers to task on Friday, accusing them of presenting a "parade of horribles" designed to sow fear about the court's order to reunite families promptly.
