The Biden administration will allow families separated at the southern border by the Trump administration to reunite and remain in the U.S., the White House announced Monday.
“We are hoping to reunite the families, either here or in their country of origin. We hope to be in a position to give them the election. And if, in fact they seek to reunite here in the United States, we will explore lawful pathways for them to remain in the United States, and to address the family needs,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a press briefing.

A mother and her daughter died when 11 members of the same family caught Covid-19 after meeting on Christmas Day. Kashmir Bains, 64, and Paramjeet, 43, of Wolverhampton, fell seriously ill after testing positive for the virus. The daughter died on 5 January, the day after she was taken to hospital, and her mother died four weeks later. “It’s been devastating for us as a family,” said Indy Bains, their son and brother. Mr Bains said the family considered not meeting at Christmas but decided to because his sister, who has learning disabilities, had been suffering in isolation with her mental health. They gathered on Christmas Day, adhered to the government’s three household rule and “played safe”, only meeting for a few hours. Mr Bains and his family, and his younger sister and her family, met up with his mother, father and older sister. Days after Christmas, all 11 tested positive for coronavirus.
