Their rights are human rights. This book explores the administration's policies and practices of family separation at the U.S. southern border and its confinement of migrant children that, in some cases, experts describe as torture. Specific connections are made between harmful actions on the part of government officials and agencies, and provisions that protect against them in The Convention on the Rights of the Child and four other UN conventions. Awareness of the violations and the safeguards afforded to children may help preserve children's human rights. The book also examines efforts of humanitarian organizations, courts, and legislators to reclaim and defend migrant children's rights. The author's research includes information from international and national government documents, news reports, and interviews and stories that resulted from networking with advocates in both Arizona and Mexico. The young asylum seekers were called "criminals" and "not-innocent" by the President. However, his narrative is contradicted by vignettes that describe children's own experiences and beliefs and by photographs of them taken by advocates in Arizona and by the author in shelters in Mexico where families await asylum"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a U.S. Border Patrol $v Rules and practice. 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of Refugee Resettlement $v Rules and practice. 610 27 $a U.S. Border Patrol. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01800126 610 17 $a United States. $b Office of Refugee Resettlement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00574902 650 0 $a Immigrant children $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Illegal alien children $z United States. 650 0 $a Alien detention centers $z United States. 650 0 $a Unaccompanied refugee children $z United States. 650 0 $a Immigrant families $x Government policy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Unaccompanied refugee children $z Mexico. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Alien detention centers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805056 650 7 $a Illegal alien children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745445 650 7 $a Refugees $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092822 650 7 $a Unaccompanied refugee children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743441 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Rules. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423857 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019023450.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11C64312177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
