There has been a dramatic increase in the numbers of families and children arriving on the southern border over the past several years. Most of these families and children arrived from Central America, fleeing vicious cartels, gang violence, and extreme poverty. After surviving long and dangerous journeys, these families should have been met with safe refuge, but they instead encountered the Trump administration’s myriad inhumane border policies like family separation, zero tolerance detention, and the Remain in Mexico policy. These policies and management decisions have contributed to mass overcrowding and widespread inhumane conditions at Customs and Border Protection facilities across the southern border. This book looks at the issues involving children in custody.
