The last child has left Tornillo. It’s good for these kids and their families. And it shows the power of people who showed up for them and shared with the rest of the country that we were locking up immigrant kids for months at a time. You made this happen.
The same power we saw from those who showed up on Father’s Day in Tornillo last year — who formed the political pressure to force this administration to end family separation, to stop this country from taking kids from their parents at the border.
It’s the same power that will ensure we help — instead of turn our backs on — asylum seekers. Will force us to meet the humanitarian challenge in Central America not with walls but with moral courage, an understanding of our ability to be there for those who have no other hope.
