Despite evidence that forcible #familyseparation is traumatic and leads to short- and long-term health issues, the Trump administration has separated thousands of children from their parents.

We're suing. #KeepFamiliesTogether
Facing gang violence and extortion in Guatemala, J.V.S. and his 5-year-old daughter sought refuge in the U.S.

He was detained. His daughter was flown to a foster home in NY.

It was weeks before they spoke on the phone and more than two months before they saw each other again.
A.P.F. and his 7-year-old son fled Guatemala after threats of extortion. They were detained and separated at the U.S. border, forced to spend 65 days apart. #KeepFamiliesTogether
The Trump administration separated families by thousands of miles and failed to create a system to track children and ensure families would be reunited. We must hold the government accountable for #familyseparation. #KeepFamiliesTogether

Today, we sued the federal government on behalf of these two families seeking compensation for the harms the Trump administration's policy has caused them.

However, the trauma they have and will continue to endure cannot be erased. #KeepFamiliesTogether
