Torn Apart: Family Separation under Trump
Thousands of immigrant children were separated from their parents at the border during the first Trump administration. And while a court ruled the government should reunite these families, hundreds still remain apart. In this episode, we travel to Guatemala to meet a father who was deported from the U.S. without his 14-year-old son. In theory the families should be able to reunify on U.S. soil. Lawyers and advocates are working tirelessly to track down missing families. But in practice, the new Trump administration is making these reunifications even more complicated.
Torn Apart Under Trump Six Years Ago, a Guatemalan Father and Son Still Hope to Reunite reporting was produced in partnership with El Faro English.
Orgullosa and her daughter, Estrella, began to rebuild their lives after they were separated in the U.S.-Mexico border under the first Trump administration in 2018. Seven years later, Trump was re-elected, and their story took a downward spiral. They were “unlawfully deported” back to Honduras, despite having legal protection to be in the U.S. In this episode, we hear from Orgullosa about the months leading up to her deportation, the harassment she experienced from ICE, and how she’s part of a broader court filing trying to bring families like hers back to the U.S.

My Journey Covering (and not) Family Separation: A Reporter’s Notebook
When I saw “Zero Tolerance” unfolding back home on the U.S.-Mexico border I wanted to help cover it, as a reporter. And after years of covering immigration, I’m glad that I didn’t. But recently, I did report on it.
