The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had filed an application with Judge Dana Sabraw in the San Diego district for the possibility of deportations of the reunited families.

​The ACLU requested to stop the expulsions, at least, for a week after the reunification of the minors with their parents to ensure that no family is deported by mistake.
