I’m in #Calexico working with 17 parents who were separated from their kids and deported without them. These 17 parents were among the 29 who returned to the US on 3/2 to reunify with their children and seek asylum. They are STILL detained
They are all STILL separated from their children. ICE won’t consider their release until they pass their Credible Fear Interviews, yet Asylum HQ ordered that they NOT schedule the interviews for weeks! We had to ask members of Congress to intervene
It’s heartbreaking to see how traumatized the parents are from this detention and continued separation. I felt like I was torturing them by making them talk about why they fled their countries. One of the dads was pulling his beard out and crying as we prepared for his interview
