“While the Trump administration claims to be doing everything it can to reunify families, ICE is detaining parents at this very moment who should be released and reunited with their kids immediately,' said Sandra Cordero, director of Families Belong Together.
At least two dozen migrant parents who have returned to the U.S. in hopes of being reunited with their children have been detained by U.S. immigration authorities.
But days later, Families Belong Together said that most of the group, at least 24 members, were still in federal custody, with 19 being held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and another five being held in the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement as of Tuesday. In a separate statement, Erika Pinheiro, litigation and policy director of Al Otro Lado and an attorney working with the parents, said the legal team was"outraged to hear that many of these brave parents were transferred in shackles and may be detained by ICE indefinitely.
