“Back when the zero-tolerance policy was put into place, I think it was 2018, we started seeing how many kids were being separated from their families and my husband and I thought to ourselves, ‘you know, this could be us in a heartbeat, like all of us are one step away from being a refugee ourselves,” Sewell said. “'If we were put into this position, what would we want for our own children?’ And the answer was that we wanted our kids to be in a safe and loving home, not in these detention centers and a safe and loving home that would also allow us to have access to them on a consistent basis.”
