In April 2018, the Trump administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions instituted a “zero tolerance” policy on undocumented immigration. Undocumented migrants and asylum seekers detained at the border now face immediate criminal prosecution, often before their asylum claims can even be processed. Thousands of children and other migrants are now being held in detention centers operated by US Customs and Border Protection, where they await trial.
A backlash against this policy is growing, with conservatives and liberals alike decrying it as cruel and inhumane. Both the White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Sessions have explicitly cited the policy as a preemptive deterrent to undocumented migration, though the administration has since backtracked on that message.
We want to help shed light on this. Has your family been separated at the US–Mexico border? Are you a worker at a detention center, or do you aid families who have been affected? Tell us more at [email protected] or 347-244-2134.

(1 day ago)LOL No we can’t take themAll in bottom line. What about the kids here that are hurting everyday because of the heroine they are bringing over the boarder? What about the homeless here and all the ppl out of work. We just fix our own problems first

(Dec 1, 2018)I’m Mexican and I can tell you a big majority of kids are not separated from families by border agents but by their own parents. My father came here legally from Mexico and now is an American citizen. Do the right thing if you want to come here. If you’re so poor then how can you spend thousands for a coyote to get you here illegally. On top of that 80% of women that cross illegally get raped by the coyotes or other illegal immigrants.

You sick ,evil nasty person ! Do not dare quote the bible when you have not seriously read it, studied it or have the heart and love of Jesus in you !!! Disgus...

(Jun 20, 2018)People need to start remembering the chant, "THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!" It's been used many times in the past to point out injustice. This seems one of those times.
