ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CBSNews) — The Trump administration struggled to meet a c ourt-imposed deadline Thursday for reuniting immigrant children and their parents. Nearly 2,600 children ages 5 years and older were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border . The government announced Thursday evening that 1,820 of those children have been reunited with their parents, while 711 children remain in custody because their parents or relatives are ineligible for reunification. Romela Victoria Isaula and her 13-year-old son Geronimo were finally reunited after crossing the border near El Paso in May and being separated for two months. “I am so happy because I have her close,” Geronimo said through a translator. Now they are heading to Massachusetts where they’ll wait for a judge to decide whether they’ll be granted asylum or sent back to Honduras. The teenager is one of more than 1,800 children recently reunified with a parent or other family member. However, more than 400 of the 711 still in custody have parents who may have already been deported. “I’m worried here that we have 460 parents who have now been deported to Central America and there is a very high likelihood that those parents are not going to see their children again,” said John Sandweg, a former acting director of Immigration Customs Enforcement. Immigration attorneys say the government is making unilateral decisions that include a parents’ health condition and possible criminal history, with no oversight. “There’s a lot of concern that those standards are being inconsistently applied, or parents are being arbitrarily denied access to their children,” Sandweg pointed out. For the hundreds of ineligible children, shelters will continue to be their home while the government figures out its next move. Meanwhile, the ACLU is asking the federal judge for a new deadline of August 1 for more information on the reunifications which would the government’s feet to the fire. Thursday afternoon, the Department of Justice announced they will have reunified all eligible families by the end of the day. (© 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

LEBANON, Ohio (CBS Local) – “Age. Develop. Mature.” That was the message of an Ohio judge to a transgender teen after denying his parents’ request to change their child’s name. Warren County probate judge Joseph Kirby refused to allow Leigh and Kylen Whitaker’s attempt to change their 15-year-old’s name from Heidi to Elliott on June 22. The Whitakers are now appealing the ruling, claiming that Judge Kirby violated their constitutional rights. “We thought it was just a formality,” the teen’s mother, Leigh Whitaker told WKRC . NEW: Ohio judge Joseph W. Kirby invokes Caitlyn Jenner while denying transgender teen’s name change request https://t.co/XTDE66dgB2 pic.twitter.com/OqrmhdOnsV — Law & Crime (@lawcrimenews) July 10, 2018 According to court documents, Judge Kirby did not understand the family’s reasoning for the name change request. “Children change significantly and rapidly,” the judge wrote. Kirby ended his decision by writing that the teen can apply for a name change when he becomes an adult. The parents claim that the Ohio judge also questioned whether their child’s desire to be called Elliott was influenced by media coverage of Bruce Jenner’s transformation to Caitlyn Jenner. “The judge met with us for 15 to 20 minutes and then decided that he knew better than the parents and the doctors and our child. We just don’t feel that’s right,” the teen’s father, Kylen Whitaker said. The Whitakers added that Elliot came out to them a year ago. “We did do a lot of therapy to make sure that this was something that was real,” Leigh Whitaker explained. LGBTQ attorney Josh Langdon says the judge violated the “parents right to decide the upbringing of their child.” Judge Kirby denied two other requests for name changes involving transgender people on June 22, however the judge has reportedly approved such changes in the past. The 12th Circuit Court of Appeals will reportedly hear the Whitaker’s appeal.

RIVERSIDE (CBSLA) — A man caught on video swinging his young child violently and throwing him during an argument with the baby’s mother has been arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, according to police. The incident happened last Thursday at the Riverwalk Montecito Estates in Riverside. A bystander recorded the parents arguing. In the video originally posted on Facebook, the man appears to swing the child around his head violently at one point, then used the child to hit the woman. At another location, the man dropped the child, who then chased after him. The child’s gender and age were not released. People who watched the video on Facebook contacted Riverside Police, who quickly found and arrested the father. His name was not released. Police say when the man was arrested, he told them he had lost his temper. The child, who has been checked out and was deemed healthy, is now in the custody of the mother. It’s not clear if the mother would face any charges.
