AP: Trump Admin Separated Dozens of Immigrant Children from Their Parents for a Second Time

In more immigration news, an investigation by the Associated Press has found the Trump administration has separated dozens of immigrant children from their parents for a second time. These families had been previously separated during Trump’s first term as he enforced his so-called zero-tolerance policy, leading to hundreds of children being ripped from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump officials have re-separated the families in violation of a landmark legal settlement that was meant to reunite immigrant children with their parents. Under Trump’s second term, some of these parents have been detained in ICE jails, and others wrongfully deported and forced to leave their children in the U.S. Meanwhile, an estimated 500 babies and toddlers have been reportedly jailed by ICE since Trump’s return to the White House.
