Texas Lawyer Describes Chaos, Terror of Family Separation at Border
“At least 2,000 migrant children remain separated from their parents after the families were forcibly separated by immigration officials under President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy. A federal judge has ordered all these children must be reunited with their parents within 30 days—but immigration advocates say the administration does not have a clear plan for how to reunite the families.

Attorney Efrén Olivares is director of the Racial and Economic Justice Program for the Texas Civil Rights Project.
