On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order to end the separation of children and parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. While this step will prevent families from being torn apart in the future, it does little for the children who have already been taken away. As of now, over 2,300 children are separated from their parents, and some of them are infants as young as three months old. For the state of Michigan, this poses a serious problem.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending the separation of children and their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, but it is unclear how and if that will change the current living conditions of those children currently in the facilities throughout Texas. Activists who have visited these places describe the treatment of immigrant children as both neglectful and criminal action.
