$450,000 PAYOUT TO EACH IMMIGRANT? Biden plans to pay to the separated illegal immigrant families

During zero tolerance, families that jumped the border without permission saw the adults prosecuted. The adults were jailed and the children had to be separated. Biden plans to pay $450,000 to separated illegal immigrant families


A Fox News reporter asked Biden at a press conference on Wednesday about reports that the separated families stood to be paid up to $450,000 per person or "possibly $1 million per family."

The Wall Street Journal first reported last week that the families could be paid $450,000 per person and NBC News reported that separated individuals stood to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars to compensate for the trauma they endured.

“It’s not true,” Biden said. “That’s not going to happen.”

Shortly after Biden’s comments, lawyers from the Justice Department reached out to lawyers representing the families, including those from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The conversations were first reported by CNN.

In a statement on Thursday, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said, “The president’s comments and congressional pushback do appear to have affected settlement negotiations, which were admittedly in flux.”
