The president said his administration has no plans to pay parents separated from their children at least $450,000 in damages, but the ACLU said the plan is very much in the works.
vaccinations for children Wednesday, Biden was asked about reports on the payments and pressed by a Fox News reporters if such payments would encourage more people to cross the border illegally. “$450,000 per person? Is that what you’re saying?” the president said. “That’s not going to happen.”The ACLU, however, said it is working with the Biden administration on providing some monetary payments.
A group of Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Steve Daines , oppose any payments and introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill that would block the disbursement of these funds to immigrant families.“Biden’s open border policies have reached a new crazy level,” Daines said in a statement “Montana families are struggling with inflation and skyrocketing costs on everything from gas to groceries . . .
Attorneys for DHS, DOJ, and the Health and Human Services have been involved in these discussions, one of the people familiar with the negotiations who was not authorized to discuss the sensitive talks, told The Post.Romero, in his statement Wednesday, said the ACLU wants to “respectfully remind” Biden that he called the Trump administration’s actions against these families “criminal” during a presidential debate, and that he campaigned on rectifying the previous administration’s actions.
