The federal government will pay more than $6 million to the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations as part of a legal settlement over the Trump administration’s disastrous family separations, a federal judge ruled last week.

For 35 days during the summer of 2018, U.S. officials took at least 2,342 children from their parents as part of “zero tolerance” policy intended to deter an increasing number of asylum seekers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. Years after the program ended, dozens of children remained separated from their parents and the policy spawned dozens of lawsuits across the country.

Last October, the Biden administration and the ACLU agreed to settle the class-action lawsuit following years of negotiation in federal court, and the last step was an agreement guiding the financial cost of the years-long fight.

On Nov. 5, U.S. District Judge Dana W. Sabraw approved financial awards to the ACLU and family members. As part of the agreement, Sabraw awarded fees and expenses worth $6.1 million—$4 million will go to the ACLU and $2.1 to a Steering Committee tasked with finding families separated from 2017 and 2018, which includes the nonprofits Kids In Need of Defense, Justice in Motion and the Women’s Refugee Commission.
