The woman, who arrived from Guatemala. In particular, claims that the immigration officer who picked up her 5-year-old son, smiling, greeted her with «Happy mother’s Day». The statement said that many children are psychologically traumatized even after reunification with their parents (indicated for loss of appetite).

In his statement, the woman-a native of Guatemala, says she was arrested in may along with his son and was in the detention center, nicknamed the «healer» or «ice box» in Spanish. The immigration officer who abused her and three other women, told them that the law has changed, that their children will take and that they will be deported.

The woman says that another immigration officer woke her up about 5 hours a day later, ordered to wash and dress his son, and then took my son to another room. The woman said that she begged her not to take her son, then asked him to deport them to Guatemala together, and not separate. Her son spoke only the indigenous Guatemalan language. The officer, according to her, only laughed, poking fun at her poor English. The mother and son were reunited in July, but later placed in a family detention center where he was released in November.

Stanton Jones, the lawyer for the families of the applicants, said that the affected families are entitled to monetary compensation for the moral damage suffered due to «inexplicable cruelty of the immigration officers».

«The government deliberately harmed children, trying to implement what was seen as the purpose of the immigration policy of the administration to trump,» — said Jones, believing that immigrants are specially created unbearable conditions to discourage immigration to the United States. «It’s disgusting and immoral, but it is also a civil wrong for which the law provides for the requirement of aid.»

The claims were transferred to the departments of homeland security, health and welfare in accordance with the Federal law on the protection from torture. The law gives government agencies six months to respond to the potential lawsuit, Jones said.

Press Secretary, HHS Evelyn Stauffer already stated in reply that the Department could not comment on the claims, as «plays no role in the arrest or initial detention» of children placed under care, including children who were separated from their parents by immigration authorities.» Other agencies that received claims from comments while abstain.

On the same day Donald Trump announced an end to his family separation policy, we saw 70 migrants file into an immigration courtroom, where unaccompanied brothers were separated from unaccompanied sisters.

That was in June 2018. It’s only getting worse.

Perhaps these 8 families – only pioneers. Human rights activist Max burns wrote on Twitter that he knows of about 70 families, ready to go to the same court.

According to ABC, the White house officially acknowledges that in 2018, more than 2,000 separated families. But perhaps this number is greater because not all cases were taken into account. Last week official representatives associated with the subject agencies told members of Congress that they don’t know the total figures for the period from late 2017 to early 2018 — the period of the so-called «zero tolerance» in respect of immigration.

As noted Vloomberg, in the judgment of June 2018 requires the Department of health and social services to reunite more than 2,700 children under his care with their parents. But this figure is just a «subset» of the total number, says Ann Maxwell, inspector HHS office of the inspector General, «no system that safely monitor children who are separated from the internal security Department and then forwarded to HHS».
