Trump admin separating migrant from relatives Reports show the Trump admin is again separating from relatives at the Mexico border. Remember this at voting time... A year ago, when Donald Trump was separating migrant from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border, we rose up and forced Trump to end the policy. But now, largely through lawyers at the border, we've learned that the Trump administration is again illegally separating from their families and detaining them in the most inhumane conditions—putting them in cages, forcing them to sleep on concrete floors, and leaving them hungry, alone, and terrified, without even soap or toothbrushes. A -year-old girl told one of the lawyers that there's nothing to do but cry. An 8-year old boy told a lawyer, "They took us away from our grandmother, and now we are all alone. They have not given us to our mother. We have been here for a long time. I have to take care of my little sister. She is very sad because she misses our mother and grandmother very much … We sleep on a cement bench. There are two mats in the room, but the big sleep on the mats, so we have to sleep on the cement bench." A -year old boy said, "At Ursula [detention center], we have not been able to shower. The toilet is out in the open in the cage; there is no door for any<b> privacy. </font></b>There is water but no soap to wash our hands. There are no paper towels to dry our hands. We have not been given a toothbrush or toothpaste to brush our teeth." A -year-old girl at one of the camps told a lawyer, "We are in a metal cage with 20 other teenagers, with babies and young . We have one mat we need to share with each other. It is very cold. We each got a mylar blanket, but it is not enough to warm up. ... The lights are [on] all of the time." Most of these have family, including parents, in the United States. But the Trump administration is taking them away from family and classifying them as "unaccompanied minors." A lawyer who is part of the teams interviewing at the camps explained, "There were at this facility who came across with parents and were separated from parents. There were other at the facility who came across with other adult family members. We met almost no who came across unaccompanied. The United States is taking away from their family unit and reclassifying them as unaccompanied ." |

The U.S. is traumatizing young children for no good reason. This stain on our country will last a long time and have a negative impact on our image in the world. This inhumane behavior is the direct result of Donald Trump trying to be tough and just being evil. Children should not be taken away from their parents. Even a child knows this is true.
