“She cant tell me if something bad happened. Dont know if she thinks we chose to abandon her. All I know is she came back pounds thinner w/ lice & a hacking cough. Cried for days, traumatized by a govt that keeps children from parents bc they are migrants.”nytimes.com/2019/04/03/opi…
If you read anything—perhaps ever—read this (☝️) courageous op-Ed written by Sindy Flores. A migrant from Honduras. A current asylum seeker. Separated from her baby.l by @CBP. She’s the mom in this video. Writing about trauma. And asking for empathy.
