Torn Apart: How U.S. Immigration Policy Fragments New Mexico Families
As Americans, we need to seriously assess whether our current immigration policy properly reflects our values and whether we believe that forcibly separating fathers, mothers and children across national boundaries is in line with who we are as a nation. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico Regional Center for Border Rights (RCBR) released a report, TORN APART: How U.S. Immigration Policy Fragments New Mexico Families, that features first-hand testimonies from mixed immigration status families about the effects of immigration enforcement in New Mexico. Along with these personal accounts, the RCBR lays out specific recommendations to make immigration policy fair and humane.
