Trump Administration Surveilled Migrant Family Separation Protests

Katharina Obser with the Women’s Refugee Commission said in the statement that the Trump administration’s family separation policy has deeply traumatized migrants.

“That federal agencies knew of this trauma and yet chose to disregard it in the name of an abhorrent deterrence strategy is unconscionable,” Obser said. “There is still so much more we need to fully uncover to understand what this administration did and didn’t do to inflict and subsequently address the harm caused by its family separation policies, but these documents re-emphasize that we must hold them to account.”
