Today’s Action: City and state action for immigrant children
It was with great sorrow that we learned last week a detained immigrant toddler died shortly after release, due to a respiratory infection caught in an ICE detention facility in Texas. Although the details remain under investigation, what is clear is the horrifying reality for the family: our government has effectively killed their child, thanks to the negligent and inhumane practices of Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy.
With this policy, hundreds of children still remain separated from their parents, despite a court order to fix it. And numerous heartbreaking reports continue to roll in of children who have been sexually and physically abused, are lice-ridden and unbathed (for months), and of younger babes no longer recognizing their parents due to months of separation.
Trump’s administration has even done such a poor job tracking separated children that hundreds were placed in facilities New York City…without the knowledge of the mayor. With Congress in recess, we must wake up our state and local leaders, and urge them to combat this deadly policy that has poisoned our country.
Call or email your governor and your mayor, and demand they investigate how many children separated by the federal government are currently housed in your state and city — and ask them to take immediate steps to reunite any children with their parents.
And even beyond those babes who remain apart from their parents, thousands more are now jailed in family detainment centers with equally poor living conditions. In case it wasn’t clear: Trump does not care about these human beings, who arrived at our borders seeking asylum.
But your efforts are working – Trump has been forced to back down on multiple policies, and thankfully thousands of children are now reunited. We must continue this push for those still separated, who are no less deserving, and for all who remain detained indefinitely.
Call or email your governor and your mayor, and demand they find out how many separated children are currently housed in your state and city — and demand they take immediate steps to reunite any children with their parents.
