“This family was cruelly separated by the Trump administration. The trauma these children and mom have been through will take years to overcome, if ever. It took an army of lawyers, people of faith, and a change at the highest levels of government to reunite this one family.”

“After years of anguish, walking alongside people who our government treated with complete indignity and disrespect, we know that tomorrow will be just the beginning. There are many more reunifications to come.”

“We celebrate with this family and @LasAmericasIAC, which has been assisting them on the ground since 2018. We look forward to celebrating so many other reunions in the coming weeks, until every family is whole, once again."
