Human Rights Abuses Against Immigrant Parents
October 1, 2009 - Laura Rivas and Safia Albaiti, NNIRR HURRICANE initiative
An estimated 3.1 million U.S.-citizen children have at least one parent who is undocumented. Many more have at least one parent who is a permanent legal resident who can be subject to deportation for minor infractions or upon filing for a change of immigration status. Every year, thousands of children are separated from a parent who has been detained and/or deported by the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). NNIRR has been actively tracking and monitoring these cases and their particular impact on immigrant women and children. These stories of thirteen cases in 2008 and 2009 represent a fragment of a serious pattern of abuses and rights violations tearing immigrant families apart.
