"It’s never left my mind. It was a horribly traumatic because I never thought I’d see my mom like that. They tricked us.” ImmDef client Julieta was separated from her mother while in CBP custody. Three years later, they still remain separated. @nlanard 🧵

After one of Magdalena's daughters was sexually assaulted, she fled with her two girls to seek asylum in the U.S. But while in CBP custody, Magdalena was shackled and taken away from them, ripped apart by the Trump administration in front of her 9 yo and 16 yo daughters. 2/5
ImmDef's ED @L_Toczylowski, "This case perfectly exemplifies all of the trauma and the pain and the years of recovery that Zero Tolerance and family separation is going to cause...It’s a microcosm of what happened to hundreds and thousands of people.” 3/5 motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
No guardian could ever be the same as a child’s own mother. Although the sisters were protected in court by ImmDef lawyers, the family remains broken living in 3 separate homes, divided by thousands of miles & morally bankrupt immigration policies. 4/5

The zero-tolerance policy may have ended, but Title 42 is carrying on its traumatic legacy of family separations, pushing migrant families to the brink of despair. @POTUS ending zero-tolerance is not enough, it's time to #EndTitle42
