WASHINGTON D.C. (77WABC)- It appears immigrant families separated at the border could be getting a big fat check from uncle sam.
The Wall Street Journal reporting the Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration about $450,000 a person in compensation.
Many immigrants reportedly have launched lawsuits against the government, claiming to have suffered psychological damage.
The administration is considering payments possibly as high a $1 million a family.
However according to sources, many families would get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances.
