FILE - In this file self portrait taken in Mexico in May 2018, Blanca Orantes-Lopez poses for a photo with her 8-year-old son, Abel Alexander, during the monthlong journey from their hometown of Puerto La Libertad, El Salvador, to the United States-Mexico border. Immigration Judge John G. Crews on Monday, July 16, 2018 declined to release Orantes-Lopez on bond from the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, saying she must remain in custody. The judge cited new and more restrictive guidelines on asylum seekers from Attorney General Jeff Sessions in finding that her fear of gang violence would not support an asylum claim.
