family separation

American Families United fights for the most neglected part of the immigration debate: American citizens.

According to the president on Saturday, his administration would be considering a new policy of separating families on the border between Mexico and the United States because he believes that the first attempt "was an effective deterrent for illegal crossings."

The government was not prepared to implement the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy and still insists on blaming others for the disaster.

After Donald Trump's government strongly denied that the separation of undocumented families on the border was an "official" policy, a new document has shown that Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen made it official with her own hand.

An investigation by ProPublica and Mother Jones has shed light on the nightmare faced by hundreds of young undocumented immigrants living in detention centers in Chicago.

Despite years spent fighting for regularization, and having children who are U.S. citizens, many Dreamers continue to live with an uncertain future in the country they have called home for nearly their entire lives.

Thousands of separated families, children alone in court, sexual abuse, and deported parents are the consequences of the "zero tolerance" policy of the Trump Administration. Repairing the damage seems simply impossible.

According to government data, the number of families detained at the border with Mexico has remained constant over the past few months, demonstrating that the Trump administration's "zero tolerance policy" argument was not only chaotic but also ineffective.

The Trump administration has stated that it will not be responsible for locating parents who were deported after being separated from their children on the border with Mexico.

The president's oldest daughter said she's "very vehemently against family separation" but acknowledged that the issue of immigration is a "complex" matter.

A group of grandmothers has decided to travel more than 2,000 miles from New York to the U.S.-Mexico border to demonstrate against family separation and other anti-immigrant measures of Donald Trump's government.

While Donald Trump's government tries to reunite immigrant families separated at the border, many detainees die in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Trump's policy of "zero tolerance" of illegal immigration separated close to 3,000 minors from their parents, though it was finally suspended in mid-June because of the barrage of criticism it aroused.

Protesters plan to demonstrate during Pence’s July 23 visit with women dressed in “Handmaid’s Tale” costumes.

This action came as a result of a court order which set midnight of July 26 as the deadline for President Donald Trump's administration to reunite 2,551 separated children between the ages of five and 17 with their families.

An immoral and inhumane policy like Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance,” that mercilessly punishes families and tortures children with a sick parody of law, demands unforgiving, uncompromising outrage, it demands standing up and saying, “Enough is enough!”
