@SCActionNetwork Family separation continues to occur in several forms. An estimated 900 other families have been separated since the announced rollback of the zero tolerance policy.
@SCActionNetwork The government has been accusing parents of minor offenses, claiming they pose a danger to the child, then removed the children from the home. nytimes.com/2019/07/30/us/…
@SCActionNetwork There has also been a rise in the separation of non-parent family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles) and the children in their care. apnews.com/08d9f07b1bc54c…
@SCActionNetwork There is also the larger conversation about targeted immigration enforcement as a means of separation. When parents are ripped from their families by ICE while they’re grocery shopping or driving to work, the psychological impact on the remaining family members is devastating.
@SCActionNetwork These are spouses or elder siblings who are left to fend for themselves while taking care of younger children or sick relatives WHILE processing the trauma of suddenly losing one or both parents.
