Under President Trump’s new “zero tolerance” immigration policy 2,047 children
remain separated from their parents, as of June 26. They are now held
in shelters and foster homes run by the federal government and an
assortment of nonprofit groups. These shelters were already home to an additional 8,886 children who crossed the border unaccompanied by older relatives before the “zero tolerance” policy was announced.
ProPublica is working with partners in the
U.S. and in Latin America to fill in gaps in what we know about these
facilities, and to tell the stories of the people affected by the zero
tolerance policy. More about the map | EspaƱol
