Immigrant and civil rights groups have never seen anything like this. Infants and children are being ripped from their mother\u2019s arms as they enter the United States.<\/p>\n

In one case in Arizona, a 53 week old infant was recently in court without a parent. These are children and families seeking asylum from Central America and Africa\u2015from violence in their home countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a recent interview with NPR, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called this policy a \u201ctough deterrent.\u201d But the motives of the White House are clear: To punish immigrant families.<\/p>\n

Now, the ACLU is suing the U.S. government to reunite these families.<\/p>\n
