Migrant daughter doesn't want to let go after finally being reunited with her mother after 60 days

The family had entered the United States fleeing threats from violent gangsters demanding money, she told the Associated Press. The mother came first with their infant son and her husband came two weeks later with their daughter. All were taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol as part of President Donald Trump’s no-tolerance policy.

“I never thought it would be like this,” said Martin, who worked as a nurse in Guatemala. “I see now that it’s not true that people count here, that the laws protect families. It’s a lie.”

A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to reunite more than 2,000 children that were separated from their parents and families. They have 30 days to do so, or 14 days in the case of those children younger than 5-years-old.

Today, this family was finally reunited after 60 days. The little girl hesitated to let go of her mother.

2. Trumpsters will see this as a success story

That quote breaks my heart that we are no longer seen as a place of refuge.

The Trumpsters will say that is the point so that people don't want to come here.
