Dozens of immigrant children will be reunited with parents

SAN DIEGO – Dozens of immigrant children will be released from detention centers and reunited with their parents Tuesday.

A government lawyer said Monday at least 54 children under the age of 5 would join their parents by a court-ordered deadline, only about half the 100 or so children covered by the order. The Trump administration was working on final background checks for another five children ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
