The American Immigration Council submitted a written statement to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary for a July 31, 2018 hearing on “Oversight of Immigration Enforcement and Family Reunification Efforts.” The Council’s statement expresses our outrage around the administration’s family separation policies and includes our first hand experience working with detained parents separated from their children. The statement also includes our analysis and research regarding the nation’s asylum system and the increased prosecutions of migrants for entry-related offenses.
