Last spring, Americans were outraged when they learned what the Trump Administration was doing to immigrant children at the border. Families were being separated without any plans to reunite them. The government was deporting parents without their children and confused kids were subjected to traumas that won’t soon go away. This panel will explore the reporting behind one of the Trump Administration’s most controversial immigration policies and the ongoing child-separation crisis at the border.
