A migrant mother walks with her two daughters on their way to the port of entry to ask for asylum in the U.S. last June in Tijuana, Mexico.The order followed a report by the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General that estimated thousands of children were separated before zero tolerance, the May-June 2018 policy that systematically separated children from migrant parents who crossed the border illegally.

Lee Gelernt, the ACLU's lead attorney in a lawsuit against the Trump administration over family separations, said Saturday that up to two years is too long.
