This morning, more than 2,300 children will wake up without their parents. Some are separated from their families by more than a thousand miles. The Trump administration has <\/span>no plan<\/a> to reunite the children who his policy forcibly separated from their parents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Republicans can still act by joining Democrats in supporting clean and permanent legislation to reunite these families and end the crisis Trump created.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some of the real stories of Trump’s family separation crisis:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Tonight at about 7:30 I received a text from a woman on an American Airlines flight, <\/span>who saw about seven young people being transported from Texas to LaGuardia.” – Activist Stosh Cotler<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“<\/span>I can’t go without my son.” – Elsa Johana Ortiz Enriquez<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“<\/span>The first few nights, he cried himself to sleep. Then it turned into ‘just moaning and moaning.’” – Janice, a foster mother<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The border agents did not tell Ms. M. where they were taking her son. When D.M. was taken away from his mother, <\/span>he was screaming and crying and did not want to be taken away from his mother. That was the last time Ms. M. saw her son.” – Lawsuit of Beata Mariana de Jesus Mejia-Mejia<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“When the 9-year-old Guatemalan boy arrived at a Michigan foster care home, <\/span>he was so afraid he couldn't eat.” – ABC<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The undocumented immigrant from Honduras sobbed as she told an attorney Tuesday how <\/span>federal authorities took her daughter while she breastfed the child in a detention center, where she was awaiting prosecution for entering the country illegally.” – CNN<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Yet in the middle of the night, two baby boys arrived in Grand Rapids after being separated from their immigrant parents at the southern border weeks ago. <\/span>One child is 8 months old; the other is 11 months old.” – Detroit Free Press<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“A family was separated at the border, and <\/span>this distraught father took his own life.” – Washington Post<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“‘<\/span>They just took them?’ Frantic parents separated from their kids fill courts on the border” – Washington Post<\/a><\/p>\n
