Biden administration settles lawsuit over Trump-era family separations, limits future border separations for years and provides benefits to affected families

Thousands of migrant families were separated at the southern border under Trump's 'zero tolerance' immigration policy.
Proposed settlement bars similar separations for eight years, allowing only limited exceptions for safety reasons.
Families separated under Trump to get temporary legal status, housing aid, and services like healthcare and legal counsel.
Settlement aims to facilitate future family reunification for those still separated.
Agreement must be approved in court but is expected to pass.
