Promoting the Rights of Immigrant Children Through State and Local Action

From the resource by Children’s Rights:

“Every child deserves to grow up supported by family, connected to community, and free from fear. Yet federal immigration policies systematically undermine these basic rights, subjecting immigrant children to family separation, detention in harmful settings, and isolation from community supports. These harms are the result of deliberate policy choices and demand urgent action and accountability.

This brief summarizes how recent federal immigration policies threaten children’s well-being and outlines targeted state and local strategies to uphold legal rights and support children and families.”
