Despite Trump’s executive order, our country is still locking up children on our southern border, hopefully, without separating them from their parents. Families seeking asylum can be locked up indefinitely under this executive order.

Bring back the Family Case Management Program that Trump ended in June 2017which allowed families to be placed into a program, together, that connected them with a case manager and legal orientation that ensured they understood how to apply for asylum and attend immigration court proceedings. The program had a 99.6 percent appearance rate at immigration court hearings for those enrolled in the program.
