Shattered Families: The Perilous Intersection of
Immigration Enforcement and the Child Welfare System
Key Findings: There are at least 5,100 children
currently living in foster care who are prevented from uniting with their
detained or deported parents.
Federal, state and local governments must create explicit policies to
protect families from separation.
These polices should stop the clock on the child welfare process and the
immigration enforcement process to ensure that families can stay together and
allow parents to make the best decisions for the care and custody of their
children.
