Hello,
According to The Washington Post, “more than 500 children who, having been wrenched from their families by U.S. government officials with no plan or mechanism ever to reunite them, remain separated.”
A new report by the U.S. Justice Department and the ACLU clarifies that, despite a federal judge’s order that the Trump administration reunite families who were separated by Trump’s cruel “zero tolerance” policy, the parents of 545 children still can’t be found.
Starting in 2017, thousands of families were separated on Trump’s command, with Trump’s attorney general Jeff Sessions telling immigration officials that “we need to take away children” -- all part of the Trump administration’s inhumane strategy to deter immigrants from seeking amnesty in our country.
Now the government can’t reunite these over 500 children with their parents, and the ACLU reports that over 300 separated children have been lost in the foster care system.
Trump has previously defended his policy with support from his followers, callously claiming that “when you allow the parents to stay together...then what happens is people are going to pour into our country.” Many of us have grown numb to Trump’s disturbing acts, but as the Supreme Court prepares to hear two cases that will decide the future of Trump’s restrictive amnesty policies after 2020, we need to know where YOU stand on his failed immigration legacy:
Do you condemn separating families?
Thank you for providing your critical input,
