Fabian* faced threats from gang members so like many parents fearful for their family, he fled to the U.S. with his 5-year old daughter. Sadly, his daughter was taken away from him once they were in the United States. Family separation harms children, hurting their development and emotional well-being.
Tragically, family separation isn't the only harm being done to children by the U.S. government. Media reports and witness accounts that babies and children are hungry, sick, cold and alone are gut-wrenching and unacceptable.
Children — no matter where they are from — don't deserve this kind of treatment!
Urge Congress to support the Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in Customs and Border Protection Custody Act (S. 2135 | H.R.3239). This bill would end family separation while also requiring children to receive medical assessments, nutritious food and sanitary conditions.
