Outrage continues to rise around the country about the Trump administration’s forced separation of immigrant children from their parents.

According to figures released by the Department of Homeland Security on Friday, at least 1,995 minors have been pulled from their parents over the past six weeks and are being held in detention centers as part of the Trump administration’s new “zero-tolerance policy.”
