A flyer given to parents separated from their children tells them how to locate their kids, not how to reunite with them

An innocuous, one-page pamphlet with silhouettes of adults holding hands with children provides a seemingly simple step-by-step guide for parents separated from their children after crossing the border.

The information, in both Spanish and English, includes 1-800 numbers and email addresses for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's call center and the Office of Refugee Resettlement's “Parent Line.”

The "Next Steps for Families" flyer essentially instructs parents on how they may be able to locate their kids, not how to get them back. It doesn’t say how long it will be before the father or mother might see their child again.

Hoping to dissuade immigrants from attempting to cross the border from Mexico, the Trump administration recently enacted a "zero tolerance" policy, criminally prosecuting anyone caught entering the U.S. illegally.
