"Torn Apart: Immigration in the Era of Trump"
The Associated Press Staff, The Associated Press
Few events captivated the public in 2018 as powerfully as the many scenes of children separated from their parents at the U.S. - Mexico border. Some would be put in cages, others hauled into court for immigration proceedings - even though they were still in diapers. No matter where one stood on the details of immigration, the natural inclination to want to protect children exerted a powerful influence on the national debate over President Donald Trump's policies. Throughout the year, The Associated Press focused a critical spotlight on how these most vulnerable - the children - were affected by the president's approach to migration, with reporting that brought global awareness to the human toll and numerous calls for change. |
