White House Adviser Says Justice Dept. Will Set Compensation For Immigrant Separations
White House adviser Cedric Richmond said today that the US Justice Department will determine the compensation amount in legal cases brought by immigrants whose US migration included family separations.
Richmond said that settling the cases will save taxpayers money. Reports indicate that the settlements could run as high as $450,000 per family member.
“If the DOJ determines that it saves the taxpayers money and it rights a wrong, then they will make the determination that is necessary and I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,” Richmond said on “Fox News Sunday.”
