Today we learnt that separated children arriving from Central America are being expelled across the border to Mexico with no accompanying adults even though they may have no family there. This violates child welfare laws which require special protection for migrant children traveling alone and is being challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union. Thank heavens there are good people doing their best to make a difference in a sea of corruption.
