A federal judge has gone ahead and agreed to extend Tuesday's deadline for the government to reunite 102 migrant children under the age of 5 who were separated from their parents under this administration's "zero tolerance" policy.

The DOJ expects 54 out of 102 children will be reunited with their parents tomorrow and will deliver a proposed timeline for reuniting the remaining children with their parents to the judge.
