Hundreds of children are still separated from their parents

Here’s a sad example:

This story from @TexasTribune about how a father and son were separated by the Trump administration is heartbreaking. Byron is 7 years old and is still in a shelter here – long after his father was deported.

2. Microsoft is pushing back even if Trump is not.https://t.co/jZ9hYZg3nN
