A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from quickly deporting newly reunited immigrant families.
A San Diego-based judge granted a request from the American Civil Liberties Union to delay deportations for at least a week after reuniting parents and children who were separated at the border.
The ACLU says parents need that time to decide if they want to be deported alone or as a family.
Last month, the same judge gave the federal government a July 10 deadline to reunite children under the age of 5 with their parents, and a July 26 deadline for children ages 5 and older.
The government has one week to respond to the judge's most recent decision.
