'We want the families that are in detention and who have been separated to know we haven't forgotten them,' Families Belong Together Chair Jess Morales Rocketto said.

Washington woke up Tuesday to find a caged child on the Capitol Lawn in a demonstration marking a year since President Donald Trump's"zero tolerance" family separation policy, which saw thousands of migrant children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border last year.

Mendoza said the installation was the product of a joint effort by her and immigration advocacy group Families Belong Together, to ensure that those affected by the Trump administration's"zero tolerance" family separation policy would never go forgotten. While the Trump administration officially rescinded its family separation policy last year, in February, the government admitted that at least 245 family separation cases had taken place since then.

"We want to be sure that [families] know that we have not forgotten them and that the Trump administration is also clear that we will not," she said."That's one of the reasons why we did this today." “In our work on the ground, we’re seeing firsthand that children, some as young as 8 months old, are still suffering lasting trauma when they are torn from the arms of their parents and other family members," Olivares said."We must immediately put an end to 'zero tolerance' and stop criminalizing immigrants and families seeking safety in this country.”

They should have the American taxpayers in these cages because we are paying over 70 billion dollars a year to pay for this mass wave of illegal immigration where selfish parents use their kids as their ticket into our country.

Yet, liberals are just fine with them walking 1500 miles across a country to be taken advantage of for cheap labor. Why is there still persecution in these shithole countries and what has the UN done to stop it? Even in a “cage” they’re better cared for. It’s hatred for Trump.

Donald Trump's 'foreign policy is one where Russia has leverage over him,' former CIA official saysThe president's foreign policy is 'totally at odds with what the U.S. intelligence community believes,” Jeremy Bash argued. Putin is ex KGB. He knows how to handle Trump. It’s pathetic that Trump doesn’t realize he is being played! Maybe they should assign a special investigator and investigate for 2 years...oh wait, they already did... you guys are pathetic. Never270 all of his foreign policy is a direct product of his own business interests-divestment can no longer be an option after Trump-it must be mandatory-the system was laid bare by it's worst member. The party of less government just made a case for more regulations.

DHS launching program testing DNA of some migrant families in effort to prevent 'recycling' of childrenA new pilot program from the Trump administration will test immigrants using rapid DNA detection to determine if individuals presenting as families are indeed related. Having to resort to DNA testing when DHS knew all along that it has the ability to track and identify large populations and their relation with eachother is straight up reckless, unprofessional and is everything I would expect from Trump's kleptocracy. He fails again.
