Year after Trump's family separations announced, scars remain and migration hasn't slowed
Maria Gloria, a migrant from Honduras, and her two young sons still bear the emotional scars of their forced separation under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policylast year, she said. They had come to the U.S. border in May and were seeking asylum after the family faced repeated death threats in their home country.
Maria, 32, said her sons, 11-year-old Franklin and 8-year-old Byron, still wake up afraid in the middle of the night, especially her youngest.
The little boy wakes up crying, sometimes saying things like "let me go" in his sleep, she said.
When she asks Byron what his nightmares are about, he has said "I don't want us to be separated again, we don't want to be alone without you," she told NBC News.
The little boy has also said "he has dreamed many times" that those threatening their lives in Honduras "have killed me," she said.
Even after their reunion in July, Maria Gloria fell into a deep depression, barely slept and lost a significant amount of weight because of the separation, she said.
