A group of Central American migrants who were separated from their children by US authorities have crossed the border begging to be reunited with them. Around 50 people made the crossing from Mexicali, Mexico into Calexico, California, where they were met by agents from US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) asking for refuge. Among them were 29 parents who were separated from their children last year under Donald Trump’s family separation policy. Many of those crossing the border were visibly scared as they entered the US, demanding asylum hearings that might allow them to reunite with their children. Around 29 parents have crossed into the US begging to be reunited with their children (Picture: Reuters) Thousands of children were separated in Trumps family separation policy (Picture: Reuters) They were accompanied by lawyers from immigration advocacy group Al Otro Lado. Joe Arteaga, a Honduran man separated from his 15-year old son last year, said: ‘We are waiting here in Mexicali, we arrived early. God willing and our cases can be seen. I know it’s a big risk, but we hope for the best.’ Some described their confusion at being pulled away from their families. Terrified migrants cross US border begging to be reunited with their children Arnold Flores said: ‘Every day I saw my son through a fence … One day, as he cried, he said “daddy they’re going to deport you”. ‘That same day the officers called me, a defense attorney said something to me in English that I didn’t understand and I haven’t seen my son since.’ Mr Flores said he fled his home in Honduras after it was burnt down and he was beaten. Others crossed the border asking for refuge (Picture: Reuters) Donald Trump’s family separation policy saw thousands of children separated from their parents after crossing the Mexican border into the United States. Many were placed in detention camps before being reunited with their parents. Mosques across UK open doors to non-Muslims to help tackle ‘negative stigma’ But other parents were deported back to Central America without their children, some of whom were later sent to foster homes or to live with relatives in the US. In July, Trump’s administration admitted that as many as 2,737 children had been forcibly removed from their parents. But in January they back-tracked on the figure, and admitted it could have been many thousands more, though they were unable to put an exact number on it The families arrived with legal representation (Picture: Reuters) The US Department of Health and Human Services’ inspector general said separations accelerated in 2018 after Trump implemented a ‘zero tolerance’ policy to prosecute and jail illegal border crossers. But following international outrage over the policy Trump made a U-turn and signed an executive order on June 20, 2018 to reverse course. The families who arrived back in Mexico helped by Al Otro Lado, which means ‘On the Other Side,’ hope to present their cases to authorities and be reunited with their children. Erika Pinheiro, Litigation and Policy Director at Al Otro Lado, said: ‘This is a huge victory for these families, but this fight isn’t over until they’re reunited with their kids.’ The parents will be arguing that they deserve another chance at refuge in the US to be with their children, something rarely offered to deportees.
