Customs and Border Protection says the agency has upped their humanitarian efforts and follows strict policies.
Several children, both immigrants and citizens, have been “detrimentally impacted” by the enforcement actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, a report from the American Friends Services Committee found.
The new report claims these violations have ranged from officers failing to follow the Flores agreement — which says a minor must be released after about 20 days — to officers accusing minors of smuggling.“The cases [in the report] involve interactions with immigration officials that have become traumatic events for the children involved,” Ceceña wrote. “Minors reported feeling a heightened sense of anxiety, feeling scared, experiencing trouble sleeping, and not wanting to go to school.
“We just have a really thorough conversation with them about what happened exactly,” she said. “We ask them to describe what they were doing, what the interaction was like. In their own words, what the officers were saying and if they had guns on them.”
