Since the Trump administration launched the “zero tolerance” immigration policy in April, more than 2,300 children have been separated from their parents. The country is in outrage, demanding that this cruel and inhumane practice come to a swift end. In this political battle, it’s easy to forget about the victims suffering most: the children. Now, in an audio recording you can hear what Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy really sounds like.
At some shelters along the Texas-Mexico borders, a friendly environment awaits children ripped away from their parents. Despite areas filled with toys, books, crayons and beds, there’s little that shelter workers can do to console the devastated children. And the trauma these children experience will have long-term ramifications, according to leading health professionals.
