CHILDREN ON THE BORDER
WANT TO TAKE ACTION?
TELL WASHINGTON
YOUR COMMENTS MATTER
The Flores settlement mandates that children be detained no longer than twenty days. The administration is proposing to change this, and the Department of Homeland Security has proposed an indefinite detention period.
Until November 6 all citizens
can post responses on the official website.
— here is how you do it:
- Go to www.regulations.gov
- Enter into the search box
DHS Docket No. ICEB-2018-0002 - That will take you to a comment form
to fill out and submit.
The Flores settlement should remain unchanged, as it reflects ALL scientific, developmental, psychological, and medical knowledge about the well-being and healthy growth of children, both physically and emotionally.
Our government should defend and promote the needs of all individuals, however small and powerless.
SPREAD THE WORD.
CHILD THERAPISTS NEEDED
Attorneys working with families separated under the “Zero Tolerance” immigration policy are seeking therapists in a variety of locations across the country to work on a pro bono basis with children who were forcibly separated from their parents.
Therapists are needed for all aged children
