Michelle Obama joins Laura Bush in taking on Trump's immigration policy
Former first lady Michelle Obama just weighed in on the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy, and she's calling on members of all parties to wake up and take action.
Over the course of a six-week period, nearly 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border due to strict immigration policies. Now, immigrants who cross the border, including refugees seeking asylum, must be detained, which means their children are taken from their custody and sent to detention centers.
On Sunday, former first lady Laura Bush published an op-ed in The Washington Post to address her concerns with the harmful policies, titled,"Separating children from their parents at the border 'breaks my heart.'"
"I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zeo-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart," Bush tweeted alongside her op-ed.
