Rejected petition The UK Government to condemn separation of migrant children from parents in US.
Babies and other young children are forcibly separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border and sent to “tender age” shelters. Since the White House announced its zero tolerance policy in early May, more than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents at the US-Mexico border.
