Family Unity: It’s the foundational principle of child welfare law and woven into the moral fabric of our society. Families belong together. This is not supposed to be a controversial concept. Yet the Trump Administration continues to advance family separation policies for immigrant families, both at the border and within the interior of the U.S.
We celebrate that today DACA lives on, but we also square our shoulders for the work ahead. To our lawmakers, we remind you: Every child should have the opportunity to grow up in a safe, stable and loving family. You must create a permanent solution to this nation’s immigration crisis and ensure families can stay together.
