Over 900 children separated at U.S. border since policy halted: ACLU
The American Civil Liberties Union | July 31, 2019
The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday asked a federal judge to stop the Trump administration’s ongoing separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the government had taken more than 900 children from their parents since the policy officially ended last year. In June 2018, the government said it would end its “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting those who illegally cross the border and separating them from their children after a public outcry and a legal challenge by the ACLU.
