Yes. Reporter they took you where all the children were . Si. These are the faces of families torn apart. If you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. I asked them to please dont separate us, because my little brother was crying, and seeing him cry destroyed me and made me cry too. Then i didnt see him again. When separation of children and parents started as a systematic policy, you just see shock. You see pain. You see terror. You see desperation. Reporter these are todays immigrants, four families caught in a web of policy and politics. Zero tolerance for criminal aliens. Zero zero in the United States, if you break the law, you go to jail, and youre separated from your family. Shouldnt be any different for illegal immigrants. translated it was extremely hard to explain to my son what was happening to him. Reporter tu papa, was he able to say bye to you . Did he explain what was happening . No. translated on the video call with my daughter, she couldnt speak, because she was just crying. I felt she was crying tears of blood. translated your kids are the most important thing in life. God gives you children, and you have to fight for them. Sometimes, the pressures of todays world can make it tough to take care of yourself. But natures bounty has innovative ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and wellrested.

So far in 2019, some 900,000 people have headed for the southern border of the United States. Increasingly, they are families fleeing the dangers of central america. Family after family, they put their lives on the line, they say to protect their children. translated his father was murdered when he was five years old. Reporter so your young sons father was killed by the gangs . Mmhmm reporter susana was raising her 7yearold daughter, litzy, and 10yearold son, leni, in el salvador, a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world. translated the situation is difficult because of the gangs. Theres still many of them. Even children are getting recruited. Reporter last year, susana says she became frightened for leni because of what he witnessed while out for a walk. translated at that moment, he was passing by when a few men were on their way to murder someone. He told me their faces were covered with masks. Reporter they were masked . Si. Reporter that they had weapons . Si. translated and you know witnesses get killed, too. I was very scared. Thats why we talked and we decided to come. Reporter and so, in the spring of 2018, susana left her job as a health worker. She, leni, litzy and litzys father fled el salvador, taking to the unforgiving road, joining other migrants, eight days and nights, by car and by bus, for the journey of a lifetime. You knew it was going to be a dangerous journey. Si. Reporter like many others, to guide and protect them, they hired human smugglers, known as coyotes. But they posed dangers as well. translated when you get to the end, you need to have all your money, and if you dont, theyll leave you. Theyll kill you, theyll make you disappear. Reporter when susanas family finally reached the u. S. Border, they faced yet a new set of dangers. You crossed through the rio grande . Si. Reporter last year, the u. S government started limiting how many people can apply for asylum at the official ports of entry. Now many say their only choice is to cross the river or the barren terrain. Not everyone makes it alive. In 2018, 283 migrants died trying to cross the southern border. Where did you come through . translated its called mcallen. Reporter mcallen, texas. Yes. Reporter that night, susana says she and her son were taken to cross with a group of 15. The coyotes told litzy and her dad to wait and cross a few days later. Mother and son boarded the crowded raft. translated and when i crossed the river with him, i thought, my god, how am i going to do this with my son . Because the raft was deflating, and i was holding onto him. Reporter they struggled to the United States shore of the great river. translated and we walked until we found a car. Reporter just like these migrants did. The vast majority of them seek out the Border Patrol agents. Theyre not trying to hide. They look for them to try to apply for asylum. Reporter Efren Olivares came to the u. S. From mexico with his family when he was 13. Today, he is a director of the texas civil rights project. He advocates for families who come to the border running for their lives. Most of them are asylum seekers. They are fleeing threats, whether its by the gangs or by their own governments. Reporter the right to seek asylum has been recognized by international and u. S. Law for more than 60 years. Its a human right to seek asylum in another country when youre facing danger in your own country. You ask a different country to legally protect you from harm. Reporter around the same time, in the spring of 2018, that susana and her family were leaving el salvador to seek asylum here, adelindo and his 7yearold daughter, angie, left honduras. translated the only choice was to migrate here to save her life and my own. Reporter and jose and his nineyearold son, ervin, left guatemala. translated at first, the threats were to me. After that, they were toward my son, ervin. All joining the hopeful, exhausted human tide. Trying to reach safety, to get to the promised land, to get to a place where they knew that, no matter what, their child was going to be safe. Reporter just as susana and leni did, once these fathers and their children reached the promised land, they turned themselves in to u. S. Border patrol near mcallen, texas, translated they took us to a place called la hielera. Reporter la hielera mmhhm so la hielera literally means ice box. And those are the Border Patrol processing stations. Theyre cells that are kept at painfully cold temperatures for some reason. Reporter that night, susana and leni were transferred here. This place behind me is called the central processing center. Its just a large, open warehouse that has divisions that look like cages. The average person driving by, you would never know anything was going on. Reporter jodi goodwin is a Texas Attorney specializing in asylum. Shes one of the few people outside the government who has been inside to talk to the children held here. If someone was living in these kind of conditions anywhere else in the United States, most definitely, Child Protective Services would be involved. translated to sleep there, in that cold, the children really suffered. My son had a fever. I noticed the other children were also sick. Reporter in may 2018, just weeks before susana and her son arrived here, jodi goodwin realized something new and unimaginable was happening to families inside. When you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. translated the officials asked us if we watched the news, if we knew what was going on. I told them i hadnt seen anything. I didnt know anything. Reporter days later, it would become painfully clear to susana. She and leni had been moved to this ice Detention Center. Susana was desperate for news about litzy, who was supposed to have crossed the border with her father by now. Thats when another immigrant mother told susana she had recently seen litzy. translated she told me that my daughter was crying and that they had taken my daughter by force. And that she cried and yelled for her father. I went to the room i was assigned to, and i cried. I got on my knees, and i said god, why me . Reporter why me . Porque a mi . Porque a mi .

Osteo biflex now in triple strength plus magnesium. Reporter it was back in may 2018 when 9yearold ervin and his father, jose, crossed the rio grande to mcallen, texas, and were detained here at the Border Patrol processing center. translated i remember everything. Reporter so you remember everything, to do. Yeah, si. Jose was locked up with other men, ervin with other boys. Reporter hace mucho frio . Mmhmm. Reporter it was cold . Yeah. translated they would let us see our parents once a day. Reporter on the third day, jose says officers asked him to sign a fivepage document, written in english. translated i kept trying to explain to them that i couldnt read english and that i wanted something written in spanish reporter but jose had just seen children taken away from other fathers here. translated it would break my soul to see other parents and the way that they were being separated. Reporter he sensed that he was about to be separated from ervin. translated i knew what was happening, but i couldnt find the words to explain to him. I just hugged him. Reporter later that day, ervin went searching for his father. translated my dad was not there. Reporter what did you think was happening . I dont know what happened. Reporter no sabias, you didnt know. Jose was taken to an adult Detention Center. Separated from his son, he signed that allenglish document, not knowing it was his own deportation order. Then jose was shipped back to guatemala, without his child. translated they took me where all the girls were. There were a lot of kids. Reporter angie was only six years old when she was separated from adelindo. Do you remember the last time you saw her . translated it was a friday, june 1, 2018. Reporter was he able to say bye to you . Did he explain what was happening . No. Reporter no . translated imagine coming over here and someone takes your child. I thought someone ripped something out of me. Reporter susana says she found out that her daughter, litzy, had been in detention with her dad. He had been charged with a second illegal entry and was separated from litzy. Susana says authorities told him they would send the sevenyearold to her aunt in virginia. But when susana was finally able to call her family in virginia, they had no idea where litzy was. translated my daughter was alone. They took her to another place, and they didnt know where. Reporter susana, adelindo, and jose had arrived in the u. S with their families at the worst possible time. If you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. Reporter that was a huge change for individuals seeking asylum and fearful of returning to their countries. With prior administrations, it was up to the prosecutors whether they wanted to charge someone, and most people were not charged. Reporter not anymore. Zero tolerance, we have zero tolerance for people that enter our country illegally. So zero tolerance is this policy of criminalizing 100 of border crossings. The parents were taken to court to be prosecuted for this petty offense, this misdemeanor. And then, when that was completed, they would come back to the Border Patrol station, and their child was gone. Reporter now, every day, children like ervin, angie, and litzy were given by immigration officials to the office of refugee resettlement, also known as o. R. R. Then the children were transported to more than 100 shelters all over the country. And in many cases, there was not even a documentation that the separation happened. Reporter parents were often told nothing about where their children might be. That was left to Efren Olivares and his colleagues. They started coming every day to this texas courthouse, talking to parents who were being separated from their children, trying to find a way to contact relatives in the u. S. You know, it hit us early on that we were the only ones doing this. Reporter for olivares, the hardest part was trying to give answers to parents who had just lost their children. Okay, so if im not going to see him again this afternoon, then when am i going to see him . And at that point was when they would all break down crying, when they realized what had happened. translated in that moment, i wished to die. I would only think about my daughter. translated in my life, its the worst thing thats ever happened. Reporter still in detention with her son, susana had no idea where her daughter, litzy, was. translated i wanted to go find her. I wanted to know where she was. Reporter no one heard those cries of pain from the detention cells. But the cries of public outrage were growing louder by the day. Dont you have kids, mr. President . Whats happening at the border is the border is being overrun by those who have no right to cross it. Are you intending for parents to be separated from their children . Are you intending to send a message . I find that offensive. No. Do you believe the policy is a deterrent . This was a policy invented, implemented, and executed by president donald trump. Reporter less than three months after the policy was announced. Under increasing political pressure, President Trump signed an executive order today that temporarily prevents the separation of families prosecuted for illegally crossing the border. Were going to keep the families together. I didnt like the sight or the feeling of families being separated. Reporter a court told the Trump Administration it had 30 days to reunite more than 2,000 separated children with their parents. There was chaos for the people that were taking care of the children and chaos for the parents who didnt know where the children is, and for the children who didnt know where the parents were, and there was nobody who could tell them where the parent was. Reporter dr. Christina muniz de la pena is a psychologist who treats immigrant children. The zerotolerance Program Brought her new patients. It also gave her an understanding of the challenges faced by Government Agencies that were barely communicating. They didnt have any record on paper this child traveled with a parent and was separated. Heres the name of the parent, and heres where the parent was taken. They had no information. Reporter out of detention, and after a series of frantic phone calls, susana and leni discovered litzy was in new york city, at a shelter called cayuga. But like other facilities, cayuga was given Little Information about children separated from their parents. Susana was told the process she had to go through to get litzy out. A social worker arranged a video call. translated it was terrible. My daughter only cried and cried and cried. And she said that she wanted to be with me. She said, you love me, and youll never forget me, right . And i said, i will never forget you. Reporter day after day, susana waited for word that she could have custody of her own child. translated i know im going to see her.

Reporter after the 30day court order deadline to reunite separated families, the Trump Administration was still struggling to comply. translated theyd say, next week, well let you know, and well send your daughter. And then it wasnt like that. The only thing i pray to god is that some day, well be together again. Reporter finally, in september, after three months apart, susana got word litzy would be released to her. translated i felt so happy. And i felt something i cant even describe. I said, how will i react at that moment . . translated ill probably never forget that moment in my life. My life came back to me. translated she always cries for her father. Reporter hes still detained . Si. Reporter its not clear why litzys father is still detained, but for now at least, susana had both her children back, together. Typical kids, with memories no child should have. Que pasa . Tell me what youre feeling. Reporter why do you feel bad . You feel bad about the things that have happened . Mhmm. Reporter it was tough for you . Mmhmm. Reporter what was the toughest thing for you . Being alone. Feeling like you were alone . Mmhmm. Reporter do you consider what happened to her a trauma . Yes. That terror and distress remains, because even if were together, were not sure were going to remain together, and thats what they carry day after day after day, months and years after that experience. Reporter susana, leni, and litzy were reunited. Other children remained held in detention, separated from their parents. For ervin, whose father, jose, had been sent back to guatemala, it had already been four months. translated i felt really bad. Reporter you felt bad . Yeah. Reporter you cried a lot . You would ask god for help. Si. Reporter you would pray . When you prayed, what did you say every night . translated i would only say that i wanted to leave soon. translated i would have dreams about my son, that he was talking to me. It was inhumane, what they did like an animal, that you could take their young. Reporter the administration blames parents for what happens to their families when they cross the border. People that come in violate the law. They endanger their children in the process. Reporter do you think it sent a message to people not to come with their families . No. translated thats not the right way to send a message. Reporter but a year later, some say that message is still being sent. What the executive order signed by the president did not do is end zero tolerance. Reporter since the administrations june 20, 2018, announcement that it was ending family separation, more than 1,100 additional children have been taken from their parents. The government says its protecting children from parents who have criminal records. Kevin mcaleenan was acting Homeland Security secretary from april 2019 until october 11, 2019. Separations of parents and guardians and the children they cross with are rare and are undertaken in the best interest and safety and welfare of the child. Reporter but olivares says the offenses are often minor. Today, there were six separated parents. One of them has a prior possession of a controlled substance conviction from 1991, nearly 30 years ago. And because of that prior conviction, he was separated from his two children. Reporter children have also been taken away from other adult relatives aunts, uncles, grandparents and siblings. These two brothers were separated four months after family separation supposedly ended. In october 2018, 21 yearold junior and eightyearold andy fled the crime and poverty of honduras. They made the 1,500mile trek to the rio grande. translated when we came in, we looked for them to catch us, so they could help us. Reporter but authorities seemed unprepared for family units they judged as atypical. Junior says he stepped in when their mother abandoned them. translated ive raised him since he was little. Ive taken care of him. I was like a father to him. Im the only person hes got. Reporter but he was told that since he wasnt andys parent, he is not considered his legal guardian. Thats when andy broke down. translated i asked them to please not separate us, because my little brother was crying. But they werent interested in that. They suddenly separated us. I didnt see him again. Reporter junior was locked up at a Detention Center in texas. Andy got a new designation unaccompanied alien child. Two weeks after they were separated, junior found out where andy was taken. He was now 2,000 miles away in new york city, in the cayuga center, the same place litzy had just spent three months. Junior hoped he would soon be allowed to reunite with andy. translated he always asked, brother, when will i leave . I want to be with you already. I just tell him to be patient. Reporter and two fathers, adelindo in a federal prison and jose in guatemala, suddenly had reason to hope they would see their children again soon. Okay, i have to say something. With the capital one venture card, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. Not just on airline purchases. Just think about the miles you could earn on things like, gifts. Should i continue . No, i want to hear this. Or a rental tux with a handsome cummerbund. Double miles on all of it. Holy matrimony thats a lot of miles ahem. Anyone else . Speak now. One more thing, whats in your wallet . But in my mind im still 25. Thats why i take osteo biflex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. It nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term.

At farmers insurance, we know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum sini wasnt sure. Clot was another around the corner . Or could things go a different way . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another, and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be worth waiting for. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Reporter how long has it been since you saw your son . translated itll be a year on may 4. Reporter since that frantic day, when ervin was separated from jose, heartache was a constant. translated when you go out for a walk, when you are eating, you feel that emptiness from the person that you love and is missing from the dinner table. Reporter finally, there is hope. Thanks to a small Advocacy Group called al otro lado, jose and 28 other parents who had been separated and then deported, are on the verge of seeing their children again. How do you feel . translated happy because my dad is coming. Reporter jose began a trip across the u. S. To a relatives home in arkansas. Ervin moved there after five months of being in detention. Youve waited a long time for this. What are you going to tell him . translated that i love him so much, and he is the best dad in the world. My father, hes over there. Reporter he could be any child waiting at any airport. You may have passed one and not even known it. The children of zero tolerance. Reporter what comes after four . Five reporter five. Six. Reporter seven. Eight. Reporter nine. Ten. Reporter ten there you go. So youve learned english. Its been 326 days since angie was taken from the arms of her father, adelindo, who raised her. She was brought to the home of a mother she had never really known. translated sometimes, like at night, i would cry for him reporter you cried, because you missed him. Si. translated its hard, because when youre separated, you feel something in your heart. Reporter but after nearly a year in prison, with the help of the group immigrant families together, adelindo was released. translated i couldnt believe it. When i got out, i received the bag with my things in it. Was in shock. Reporter shock, mixed with guilt, for exposing angie to the brutal reality of zero tolerance, a risk he felt compelled to take. translated if our country was safe, then we wouldnt have to abandon it and put our children at risk. My daughter was in kindergarten, still in kindergarten. I had to take her out of school. She still had her uniform on. I said, we need to find a place to live, my child, because we cant live here. Reporter finally, a daughter and father are on their way to a Family Reunion like no other. translated while i was on the flight, i was thinking about my daughters reaction, how she would welcome me, if she would reject me. Reporter and angie only has one. Feliz. Happy. Each separation and reunion is unique, just like every family. Junior has waited 183 days to be cleared to head to new york, with help from that group, immigrant families together, where he hopes to finally reunite with andy, the eightyearold brother he raised. An epic story revealed in a simple smile. Whats the first thing you want to do . You want to play . Andy and junior; adelindo and angie; jose and ervin; susana, leni, and litzy four families reunited. But behind happy tears lies disturbing truth. translated hes very different now. Reporter so hes different . Now . How so . translated he doesnt react. Sometimes you talk and talk, and he doesnt respond until much later. For a child, the most terrifying thing in the world is to be separated from their parent. Its the worst thing that a child can experience. Reporter you think hes emotionally impacted by this . translated i can feel it, honestly, yes, because ive been with him since he was about three years old. translated she always says, mom, you are not going to leave me again, right . Reporter susana comforts and reassures, to a child scarred by uncertainty and fear. translated i tell her that it wont happen again, because for her, maybe it could take years. Or maybe shell never forget what she lived through. I dont think shell forget those moments, that nightmare. How could they . How did they do that to such little children . Reporter the man responsible for enforcing the family separation policy was kevin mcaleenan, at that time head of customs and border protection. He was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of cbs news 60 minutes in april 2019. Did you have any regrets about the way that was carried out . Yeah. I think when you lose the public trust on a Law Enforcement initiative and you have to recalibrate at the president ial level, that means it wasnt successful. Looking back on it, did it work . So, the enforcement of the law against parents who violated our border laws and brought children with them was effective. But it didnt work in the sense that we lost the public trust in the implementation of that initiative. And i agreed with the president s decision to stop it. Reporter but for families who have fought so hard to get to the u. S. , there is new fear. Do you still feel like something bad might happen . This is charlie not coughing because he took delsym 12hour. And this is charlie still not coughing while trying his hardest not to wake zeus. Delsym 12hour.

I think its going to be a better life for him. Reporter how do you feel here in the u. S. . translated good. We learn better here. Reporter do you feel better here than in el salvador . translated yes. Theres a lot of danger there and none here. Reporter where would you rather be . translated United States. Reporter in the United States. Mmhhm. Reporter whats your hope . translated my hope is that one day we will be here legally and that they accept us, give us asylum, permission to be here. Reporter susana says shes playing by all the rules set by u. S. Immigration authorities, preparing for her asylum hearing, some three years away. So youre going to all the court appointments, whatever they say, youre there . Si. Reporter still, Trump Officials argue most migrants are coming for financial reasons and dont qualify for asylum. This is an economic migration people who believe they can find a better life here, and they will be allowed to stay. Reporter the Trump Administration is making it harder for families that have already made it to the u. S. To receive asylum, and harder for new families to come here to ask for it. Now many migrants who do make it across, given a court date, and sent right back. Thousands wait on the parched and perilous sidewalks of Mexican Border towns. Their primary concern is to stay alive and make it to the hearing date. Reporter for those like susana, already waiting in the u. S. For their court date, any misstep could be grounds for deportation. If the government says its time to go, do you think about that . Si. Reporter litzy and leni think about it, too. translated i dont know what could happen in el salvador. Reporter youre afraid of even thinking about going back there. Mmhmm. Reporter families live in limbo and fear, uncertain about so much, except this translated i say that whatever happens, i dont want to be separated from them, because it is very sad and very painful. Reporter you dont want to be separated ever again from them. Si. Reporter but youre hoping to stay here. To be together. Si. Reporter yet, with every passing day, these children become more american. What do you know how to say in english . Happy a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, op, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z. Reporter you got it. You get confused but you got it. You get a little help from your sister. Ervin is a proud young man. He doesnt hesitate to show his new allegiance.
