Zero Tolerance: An Ongoing History of Family Separations at the US-Mexico Border

Michelle Wiley - KQED

This article from KQED "looks back at some key moments" from the past few years of the U.S. government initiative to separate families at the border with Mexico and the "many legal challenges to stop it." "Many children still have not been reunited with their parents," says the article, "and new families continue to be separated at the border, albeit in smaller numbers. A recent inspector general's report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the agency responsible for unaccompanied migrant children, suggests that it may be impossible to ever know the complete number of families who have been affected."
