Judge calls U.S. efforts to reunite deported parents 'unacceptable'

A federal judge on Friday described as "unacceptable" the U.S. government's progress in reuniting immigrant children in the United States with deported parents and ordered the government to appoint a person to take charge of its efforts. "This is going to be a significant undertaking and it's clear there has to be one person in charge," said U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw at a hearing in San Diego. The families were separated as part of a "zero tolerance" U.S. government policy toward illegal immigration that began in early May. Many of them had crossed the border illegally, while others had sought asylum.
