Last week, a federal judge credited the government with reuniting more than 1,800 children with their parents or guardians. But the judge also said the government is responsible for expelling the parents of more than 400 children without reuniting those families. The boys and girls have been living in shelters in Texas and three other states. They are receiving backpacks filled with clothing, books and other supplies from Comfort Cases, a non-profit group in Maryland. Rob Scheer is the founder of the group. We have children who have walked into our country that needed us. They need us, they needed our cases, so that's what we decided to do. Scheer says he and his husband Reece set up Comfort Cases in 2013 partly because of his experience as a child in the U.S. foster care system. Today, the group serves about 39 states, Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico.
