For two years, the Remain in Mexico policy, aka the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), has trapped 70,000+ people, including tens of thousands of children, in dangerous conditions. Here are the stories of some of the many children harmed by this policy. theyoungcenter.org/mpp-harms-chil…
After surviving rape and courageously raising her voice, Ana sought safety at our border only to be denied a fair chance to tell her story and get deported to the same threats she had fled, under the Remain in Mexico policy. CW: Rape and violence. #EndMPP theyoungcenter.org/children-harme…
Oscar was only six when a border official arbitrarily separated him and his father from his mother and brother and forced them to wait in a refugee camp in Mexico for their court hearing. The family is still torn apart. We must #EndMPP now. theyoungcenter.org/children-harme…
Under Remain in Mexico, 5-year-old Juan and his mom were trapped in a refugee camp in Matamoros for months. While there, they were kidnapped. To protect her child, Juan's mom had to make an impossible choice that no family should be forced into. #EndMPP theyoungcenter.org/children-harme…
Despite threats of kidnapping, Mateo and his family were forced to stay in a refugee camp in Mexico for months and then denied protection when they appeared for their court hearing at the border. We must #EndMPP for all and #WelcomeWithDignity. theyoungcenter.org/children-harme…
Rosa and Alejandra are only two of the many children deprived of a fair chance to tell their stories in a safe space and seek legal protection because of the Remain in Mexico policy. We must #EndMPP because it puts children in danger. #WelcomeWithDignity theyoungcenter.org/children-harme…

Our amicus brief tells the stories of some of the many children harmed by Remain in Mexico. After escaping violence and threats, they were exposed to danger, forced into #FamilySeparation, and deprived of a fair chance to seek safety. Read their stories: theyoungcenter.org/mpp-harms-chil…

This is important but in order for families to seek protection at our border together, we must also make it possible for all the families who have been subjected to the Remain in Mexico policy to safely enter the country and pursue legal relief now. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Since January 2019, the Trump administration’s Remain in Mexico policy has trapped 70,000+ people, including tens of thousands of children, for months in dangerous conditions in Mexico while they await hearings on their #asylum claims in the United States. theyoungcenter.org/stories/2019/1…
The dangerous conditions at refugee camps like the one we visited in Matamoros have forced many families into permanent #FamilySeparation as more than 700 children, fearing for their lives, have had to leave their families and seek protection alone. theyoungcenter.org/stories/2020/1…
