As pediatricians, we look into terror while Immigration attacks in Los Angeles and across the country ran out of families. The current administration’s expulsion policy has arrested people regardless of immigration or criminal records and put it in detention. Don’t go wrong, this is family 2.0 separation.
We also saw the whole families, parents with their children, captured by our communities and sent to newly opened family detention centers.
These immigration policies place the health and well-being of children at risk.

As the authors of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ policy In control of immigrant children, we insist that our federal government will stop dangerous acts. Our policy promotes control is not the best interests of the child and that family separation should not happen if the benefit of the child’s welfare. Disturbing, administrative policies resulted in two.
The evidence is displayed without any amount of preventive safety for innocent children. The Academy recently Associated with 10 other medical organizations in the end of its end. As members of humanitarian monitoring teams, we interviewed staff members and families in these prison-like facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania from 2015 to 2019. We documented worrisome behavioral changes and developmental regressions in children, bed-wetting, severe anxiety, depression and suicidality. We also documented uneven medical and mental healthcare. Parents’ concerns about their children’s health are often not heard, resulting in the suffering of care and sometimes referrals in emergency rocks.
We hear many stories of bad consequences of children placed in detention. In 2019, a 15-year-old Central American girl was placed in immigration detration in the South Texas family center, a facility that could be up to 2,400 women and children. However there are no mental health concerns, he often attempted to kill himself with his seven-month constraints. This is not an extraordinary search and shows the degradation of many children and shepherds experiencing.
In March, the administration also opened two family detention centers in Texas to prevent families. There is a lot of documentation, through outdoor and government views, in poor conditions and lack of adequate health care of these facilities. New evidence The emergence showing conditions did not improve and that children have not yet obtained the health care service they need. As with this publication, no external medical teams are allowed to monitor conditions, nor providing medical care and mental. Without independent monitoring, there is no formal way to determine and ease the threats of children’s health and safety.
We are also concerned about long lengths to stay for unaccompanied children in the office of refugee resettlement. Children who have no partner can be released from the custody of an arbitrator’s contestant – usually a family member living in the United States. The new administrative management policies Requirements requirements of sponsors, Drstestically lasting the average length of staying from one month to more than seven. Potential sponsors should pay now a steep fee, be fingerprined, share their immigration status with law enforcement and agreements of the law enforcement standards.
We support evidence-based measures to ensure children are securely released by advocates. However, the administrative vetting policies being punished against sponsors rather than protected by children – left children to depress the institutional settings.
Regardless of political ideology, no one wants children to suffer. The public must ask our government to protect children’s life by stopping the indiscriminate attacks on attacks that lead to family separation and countless children; Rejected expanded funds for family control and end practice in favor of community-based alternatives; Ensure enough pediatric health care professionals trained for children in custody; Access is permitted to unchanged for defict monitoring teams at all detention facilities where children are held; Protect and develop The minimum protection given to children and opposing government tests to close it; and make an effective blow of sponsors for non-contradictory children who raise their protection and shorten control.
Our profession’s behavior requires that we intervene to avoid any child. Thus, we disobey the family separation, family control and effort without having to prevent families. We ask Americans and Congress to stand with us in protecting children’s health, well-being and safety.
