Canon Jaime Edwards-Acton adds that after the walk, the faith community’s next job is making sure “everyone gets to vote.”
A new investigation in The Atlantic found that the Trump administration’s rushed and relentless mass deportation purge is separating families again - this time in a different, more hidden, way. The first Trump administration’s family separations at the border were carried out under an explicit “Zero Tolerance” policy; now the administration is detaining and deporting parents already in the U.S. without giving parents the time or resources to make a plan for their children’s care. Families are living in a “climate of fear” and leaving their children with “nowhere to go.” Because of a legal gray area between immigration law and family law, some children left behind wind up with abusive caregivers and “there’s no process…

Ms. Magazine Executive, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf notes that American young men are not seeing men in power held accountable for their misbehavior, “power structures have not changed.
