Listen back to a conference call conversation about the latest updates on immigration and family separation.

This network call covered the best ways for members of Congress to push the administration to end family separation. President Trump’s executive order does not end family separation, and instead paves the way for more detention of families.

Members of Congress should reject legislation that expands family detention, provide oversight for existing enforcement, and cut funding that is perpetuating family separation. The administration has full authority to end the “zero-tolerance” policy of criminal prosecution and should do so immediately.
