As 400+ Children Remain Separated From Parents, Trump Admin Wants to Detain Kids Indefinitely In a troubling update on immigration policy, a recent report highlights that over 400 children are still separated from their parents due to past Trump administration policies, which sought to impose a "zero tolerance" approach to illegal border crossings. The administration is now attempting to lift court-imposed limits on how long immigrant children can be detained, potentially leading to indefinite detention for many young people. This video from Democracy Now discusses the implications of these policies on family reunification efforts, detailing interviews with advocates and legal experts who express deep concern over the psychological impact of prolonged detention on children. The conversation also touches on the enduring trauma faced by these families, the xenophobic rhetoric surrounding immigration, and the realities faced by children from Central American countries seeking asylum in the United States. Key points include:
- The ongoing separation of families despite promises to reunify.
- Legal challenges that arise from the attempt to lift time limits on detention.
- The role of organizations like ACLU and Justice in Motion in fighting for immigrant rights.
