Undocumented migrants wait for asylum hearings outside of the port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico on Monday, June 18, 2018.
This spring, the Trump administration enacted what may be its most controversial immigration policy yet.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now enforcing "zero-tolerance" regulations on those who enter the US without documentation. Under the new policy, any migrant who attempts to cross the border will be prosecuted, even if they are victims of domestic abuse or gang violence seeking asylum.
The result is that, according to DHS figures, ICE has separated at least 2,000 migrant children from their parents, who are awaiting hearings in separate detention facilities and shelters.
Several organizations are now working to help the families with legal assistance, translation services, children's safety, and other necessities.
