Family Separation: Two Years Later

It has been two years since the Trump Administration’s Zero Tolerance Policy issued on May 7, 2018 that forcibly separated immigrant and refugee parents and children who arrived at the U.S. border seeking safety. Over 2,800 children were taken from their parents before the Administration abandoned the policy more than a month later following broad public outcry.
