Join Jacob Soboroff, NBC News and MSNBC correspondent and bestselling author,
and Sue Kenney-Pfalzer, HIAS’ Director for the Border and Asylum Network, for a
discussion of the current state of the family separation crisis, the impact it
has had, and how organizations like HIAS are using our national legal and asylum
networks to fight back.
In the summer of 2018, between 3,000 and 4,000 children were forcibly taken from
their parents as a result of the Trump Administration’s “zero tolerance” policy
against those seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. Years later, hundreds of
families still remain separated, and some parents may never see their children
again. Even families who have been reunited suffer from ongoing legal issues, as
well as the psychological distress caused by the ordeal. And although the policy
of zero tolerance is no longer in effect and rates have decreased, these
separations do still occur due to the U.S.’ widespread use of detention.
This timely conversation will address where we are now and where we go from here
in bringing justice back to the border.
