Garland said in a statement. "This agreement will facilitate the reunification of separated families and provide them with critical services to aid in their recovery."The ACLU said that under the settlement, more than 3,900 children and their families would be eligible for temporary relief from future deportation for up to three years, with a chance to renew. Members of those families would also be granted work authorizations.In total more than 4,000 families, including 290 children who are U.S. citizens, were separated along the southern border under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy, according to a senior administration official, who added that the total changes daily because families continue to register for reunification services that were previously ordered by a federal judge."So far, we've contacted, over the past three years, approximately 1,300 families and where we stand now is that over 75% of the originally identified families who were separated have either been reunified or have been provided with the information they need to begin to reunification process," the senior administration official said, noting that 3,000 children were reunited by non-government organizations.The ACLU estimates that around 700 families have been reunited, it believes up to 1,000 children still remain separated from their parents."The agreement also sets forth procedures for keeping track of the whereabouts of separated family members, and ensuring that that information is shared in the limited circumstances where separations will be permitted," according to the DOJ official.The government will cover some housing costs for those who were impacted and will extend parole for those families who are not yet reunified, the official said.Migrants with a criminal record or who pose national security issues wouldn't qualify for the settlement, according to the officials.For four months in 2018, the Trump administration separated families along the southern border as a form of deterrence for entering illegally, according to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.The policy, which was ended under intense criticism, mandated prosecutions for all suspected illegal border crossings, which led to parents being deported while their children stayed in U.S. custody or were placed in foster care.Lee Gelernt, ACLU's lead attorney on the case -- which the ACLU brought shortly after then-President Donald Trump ended the separation policy -- told ABC News that the new agreement includes housing, medical and behavioral health benefits for families dealing with the trauma of being separated from their children.Officials said the negotiations to settle the lawsuit took three years."When I stood up in court in 2018 to challenge this policy, I could not have imagined that we would be here five years later, still dealing with it, that we would have to go around the world to find families," Gelernt said.The ACLU and partner organizations have been working in conjunction with the Biden administration's reunification task force to identify and locate migrant parents who are still searching for their separated children.The agreement further expands the number of families that will be eligible for humanitarian parole and reunification, meaning that the ACLU and other organizations will be receiving information on separated families that was previously unknown."Hopefully there is contact information, but given the way the Trump administration conducted this policy, we're not optimistic. It may mean searches on the ground all over the world again," Gerlernt said.The ACLU cites the Trump administration's poor record-keeping and hasty separations as some of the reasons migrant parents have been so hard to locate.Organizations like Al Otro Lado have been undertaking an arduous process of looking for families, sometimes conducting searches on foot in remote villages throughout Central and South America. In other cases, the children were too young to remember critical details about their parents.The youngest child separated by the Trump administration was 6 months old, Gelernt said.In 2021, ABC News spoke with Leticia and Yovany, a mother and son who were reunited two years after they said U.S. Border Patrol agents separated them as they tried to submit an asylum claim at the Mexican border in Texas.They were among the first migrant families subjected to the policy.Yovany said he continues to be traumatized by the separation."It was a pain that I still carry with me. It's still hurting me," he said. "I continue living with that fear that I will be separated from her again."。赛事历经层层遴选，39件优秀作品从近5000件参赛作品中脱颖而出，晋级决赛同台比拼、巅峰对决。         决赛现场，39组作品91名选手精神饱满，用饱含真情的语调，以丰富多样的形式赞颂中华文明，歌颂祖国山河，激昂起中华儿女同心筑梦的豪情壮志。《长征》《征途》《血色湘江》等长征题材作品致敬“脚下踩着草鞋，心中燃着信仰”的一代人，《摘星》《我的爸爸——致敬航天英雄罗阳》等作品咏赞新时代榜样人物与平凡奋斗者，激励当代青年走好新时代的长征路；《诚毅之光 启航梦想》《头戴簪花围的女子》等作品深挖八闽人文底蕴、立足福建非遗特色，生动演绎本土文化魅力；《台湾的鸽子，回家吧》《一张邮票》等作品紧扣两岸同根同源、同文同种的文化根基。来自台湾的参赛原创作品《乡愁——祖奶奶的阿鲁富》，以祖辈手工缝制的槟榔袋为情感线索，娓娓道来跨越海峡的思念与牵挂，让“两岸一家亲、闽台一家亲”的深厚情谊在朗朗诵读声中缓缓流淌。
