The U.S. Tore Nearly 2,000 Immigrant Children From Their Families in Under Two Months
The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” family separation policy has resulted in almost 2,000 children being taken from their families in less than two months.
That’s roughly 45 kids a day, as New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman pointed out. Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially announced the policy on May 7, but the Justice Department said it would prosecute cases from the beginning of April, CNN wrote. The children who are separated not only lose family, but they may suffer from serious short and long-term health consequences, as NBC reported.
