The US government has identified 1,556 children who officials believe were separated from their parents at the border between July 2017 and June 2018, adding to the over 2,700 families who had been separated under the controversial 'zero tolerance' policy
The government has identified 1,556 children who officials believe were separated from their parents at the border between July 2017 and June 2018, adding to the more than 2,700 families who had been separated under the administration's controversial"zero tolerance" immigration policy. The latest review was prompted by an explosive government watchdog report in January that revealed there could be more separated families that officials hadn't previously acknowledged.
"It is shocking that 1,556 more families -- including babies and toddlers -- join the thousands of others already torn apart by this inhumane and illegal policy," said Lee Gelernt, lead attorney in the family separation lawsuit and deputy director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, in a statement."Families have suffered tremendously, and some may never recover. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated.
