Abstract
Child advocates in pediatrics and child psychiatry are concerned about the trauma occurring to children when families are separated by immigration policies. Writing in a Perspective article in The New England Journal of Medicine this spring, they discussed the plan of John F. Kelly, then‐secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (and now White House chief of staff) to separate undocumented children from their parents. This would take place at U.S. border crossings. That plan appears to be on hold, but there is still a black cloud of anxiety hanging over these families.
