What About My Children: Family Separation Among Parents Deported to Honduras
PublishedA new report from the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), based on firsthand interviews with recently deported parents and reception center staff in Honduras, documents clear violations of US immigration policy. The report finds ICE failed to follow its own policies to protect family unity, including a requirement that they ask anyone they arrest if they have children and ensure that parents have an opportunity to decide what happens to their children if they are deported. The report also found pregnant and postpartum women detained and deported without adequate medical care, in violation of ICE’s own directives.
