The proposed settlement doesn’t correct all the harm inflicted on all families.

US Reaches Agreement in Family Separation Cases

The proposed settlement doesn’t correct all the harm inflicted on all families.

After the Trump administration was slammed with lawsuits for separating migrant children and parents at the border, the US government has agreed to allow many of these parents, whose asylum claims were rejected, to reapply.

A devastating development.

Trump Administration Seeks to Detain Children Indefinitely

Trauma, suicidal feelings, dangerously inadequate medical care. These are only some of the harms that immigrant mothers told Human Rights Watch their children were experiencing in US family detention centers, before a federal judge ruled in 2015 that children detained with parents must be released w...

Fighting for a Clean Dream Act Live From Capitol Hill!

Human Rights Watch with United We Dream:

United We Dream, the largest immigrant-youth led network in the US, is pressing Congress to pass a Dream Act before the end of the year. Human Rights Watch will be live from their camp on Capitol Hill lawn to discuss the Trump administration’s increased deportations of deeply-rooted immigrants - as documented in our recent report, The Deported -- and why it is urgent for Congress to act now to begin the process of protecting from haphazard and cruel immigration enforcement those who have made their home in the US.

Call your member of Congress and tell them to commit to passing a Dream Act before the holidays: 478-488-8059

You come to the US as a two-year-old with your family.

You grow up, get a job, have a wife and kids who love you.

You get pulled over for driving with your hazards on.

Just like that, you're deported to a country you barely know, torn away from your family.

That's what happened to David. Now he's separated from his wife and kids, who are struggling to get by without him. And for what?

President Trump's deportation machine at work.
