The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, launched in 2018, attempted to stem immigration through measures including separating migrant children from their parents at the southern U.S. border actions that legal and human rights experts say resulted in the separation of nearly 3,000 parents from their children.

My mother would then call my father and yell at him to leave work and come get me.
