The Trump administration deported nearly 2/3 of the 545 missing parents without their children.
Now, hundreds of these children some who were babies when they were separated still haven't seen their parents 3 years later.
We need accountability.

It's very simple: Everyone involved in green lighting the child separations, split parent /child deportations, forced hysterectomies (or forced pregnancies), and all the other inhumane acts that have occurred and are still occurring under trump's disgusting administration needs to be tried, convicted, and serve prison time. Period.
If justice is not going to be initiated on our soil, then the International Criminal Court needs to get involved, because every country that turns a blind eye to what has happened will be similarly stained.
