Each Step Home

Two Honduran children held as unaccompanied minors have died in US custody in 2023. The youngest was only Four-years-old. We ask how that child ended up designated an unaccompanied child in the first place. Four year olds do not travel to the border alone. cbsnews.com/news/unaccompa…

It's true. That breastfeeding mom's decision to self-separate was heartbreaking. The way our immigration system is structured makes children incredibly vulnerable. Listen to the whole episode at bit.ly/BidenAsylumBan

A Passover message from our Executive Director Casey Revkin.

JOIN us March 16 5 pm ET, "Biden's Proposed Asylum Ban: A Disaster for Children & Families" w/ Alex Miller @immcouncil & @CaseyRM @eachstephome. How would the Asylum Ban have devastating effects on children/families? How can we prevent it? #NoAsylumBan bit.ly/NoAsylumBan-fa…

We can't believe we have to say it: #FamiliesBelongTogether. Children do not belong in detention. Every day in detention robs a child of a day of healthy development. nytimes.com/2023/03/06/us/…
