6:22 pm
there i know how could you say yes. but i was saying. that. when these parents fled central america with their children looking for shelter in the u.s. they never thought they could be taken from each other all they knew is that they wanted to save their lives. like thousands of other families they were separated after coming to the u.s. but that was just one part of a larger story of how the u.s. is closing its doors to asylum seekers escaping violence. for some it's led to a fate that they never imagined was possible loosing their children by being sent back to the very threats they were fleeing. money out of your fellow french officers or girls when you. go to the.
6:23 pm
so you know there's a third of the. dollar figure on the end of the highway but the. lot of them. a man isn't supposed to be here. that wasn't part of the plan to save his life and his fourteen year old daughter she had a nice life. but more than that he wasn't supposed to end up back here without her . their lives changed last year when he started getting death threats from a gang member a foot out and soon i missing you're on top form of the bus and when i was. younger and more time in marcus a young woman up with. even the wilmette had worked as a police officer there wasn't much he could do so he turned to
6:24 pm
a local prosecutor for help and. ordered by you know where i grew up and then with your mother for the going there for your own which are both over thrown out as a male for your cue medical north and the north of here care for your back and i feel you. know there are many of those new york you know i don't want to call them for those younger. they're not there. as well mary. for your people. when they got threatened to rape or kill jodi he knew they couldn't stay any longer . a few miles of work on the mana is there and dr to make use of. one today as has one of the highest murder rates in the world outside of a war zone. that coupled with high rates of impunity a lack of protection has forced thousands of people like elmira to flee to the u.s. every year. for a moment the know we're going to go for it but
6:25 pm
a while but often they want me where they were landsea they'll buy it was dying get up. there no idea gary also knew. from the start of our love we that. l. met had heard that the journey to the us was dangerous a path controlled by cartels who often target migrants but that still didn't prepare him for what happened to them in mexico from i thought i heard on the record throw america one hundred dollars and honor my grandmother. in law manassero marcus in the borrow a look at the lawyer i want out of. he was forced to mortgage his home to pay they were released and continue do the us. me how you are. about. how are you don't let their own.
6:26 pm
i hold. the door what i put. in for you know you heard so you are. my marker i'll come to. you. and i know. come on. after they were separated says no one would give him information about her. or listen to his piece about his asylum claim even though he brought took human taishan of the threats against him as well as a copy of his keen police record one of the windows for you to come in for you if you don't see. your authorities or.
6:27 pm
just have your care and therefore. they want to use up ok your example is here your second thing is i want to know. where you are a lot of work at the moment but it doesn't mean they're lying with the mobile phones. nine days after he arrived in the u.s. element was deported back to one dude asked when he got here he found out that his daughter was still in the u.s. in a shelter i'm going to. take her to. i . don't know what it. is. when you're in the air and i'm. the fuel for her in the month of. a month earlier work.
6:28 pm
when thousands of families like emmett and his daughter were fleeing to the u.s. over the past few months they didn't know of all the trumpet ministrations new policy to separate families at the border. the policy was in the works for over a year but it was fully implemented in may i have put in place a zero tolerance policy for your legal entrance on our southwest border if you cross the border of offering then we will prosecute you if you are smart during a child then we will prosecute you and their child may be separated from you as required by law it was a policy that was meant to complete the government's goals
6:29 pm
fool prosecution for what is ultimately a misdemeanor of the way a person entered or at least that's what they want to say that it is. the administration has said the policy was intended to deter people from coming to the us and all of the governments stop separating families after a widespread outcry it resulted in nearly three thousand children being taken from their pair. and with no plan to reunite them officials have claimed they're only targeting people who cross the border illegally if you're seeking asylum go to a port of entry you do not need to break the law of the united states to seek asylum. but it's not that simple ports of entry include the bridges that connect the u.s. and mexico. a person has the right to seek asylum once they're in the u.s. even people who cross illegally but first they have to make it in.
6:30 pm
the trumpet ministration has been stationing border agents in the middle of international bridges turning asylum seekers away often telling them there's no space we can understand how suddenly the excuse is that there's no room numbers are nowhere near they were ten years ago of people presenting our ports of entry and people asking for asylum. turning asylum seekers away on u.s. soil goes against our own laws and it goes against international law as lawyers have sued the trumpet ministration for turning away asylum seekers but until a judge rules it continues. we heard that this was happening on the bridge that connects to the white house mexico with paso texas. and as we were driving into the u.s. we saw two people being stopped by american border agents on the bridge. they were turned away. they told us they'd come from what. it was
6:31 pm
left in your neck and. that. is that you know it. is. you know pointed out if i'm if there is a kind of about what in my life. that. he'd only want be thrown out or siblings told us they'd been targeted by a gang and fled and wanted to find their mother who lives in the u.s. but they didn't seem to know what was waiting for them you know it was at. least on some came to this effort and they to us. than it. is us and that fills me. with if you're going to get out of it immediately yes this is them or no process.
6:32 pm
right now they don't have many options they can wait here in four days one of mexico's most violent cities or try to cross illegally but that now leads to criminal prosecution. it only won't be thrown i tried again but this time we were there filming. they were stopped by border patrol agents again and were told to wait. and then despite being told it was for just a half hour earlier they were allowed into the u.s. . we found out later that they were separated. only more who's
6:33 pm
eighteen was sent to an adult detention center and put their own sixteen to a children's shelter. many people who are arriving they don't even know what asylum is they know that they left because they needed to save their lives. those seeking asylum in the u.s. are interviewed by the government to see if they qualify it's called a credible fear interview. the outcome determines whether or not they can stay. but the administration is seeking to made that harder by changing their criteria for asylum in a way that seems targeted at central americans we have our attorney general now say that we're no longer protecting victims of domestic violence or victims of gangs coming from central america and so suddenly with that change it truly puts
6:34 pm
a wrench in who we can protect under our silent laws. asylum is a complicated process and many people have to navigate it without a lawyer maybe you don't speak english maybe you don't read english maybe you're not familiar with the many years of asylum was all of a sudden you have to articulate a legal claim. i mean that's a significant piece of a lid on was part of one of the many teams of pro bono lawyers that were organized to meet with separated parents at detention centers those parents had to go through the asylum process not knowing where their children where i interview people all day long and people tell me terrible things they tell me that they've been burned and cut that their children have been harassed just really awful things and yet in this case these fifty people that i interviewed every single one of them was not about that it was all about where is my child when am i going to see my child is my
6:35 pm
child deported how do i know if my child is ok i think my child is injured it was awful. wonderful fears clients was with. us with her five year old daughter vanessa trying to escape violent threats against her. they were separated for over a month when we met her she was still recovering from that experience. well we have some input in this is slaves and they have. a i have never thought i hate. to sound. so i have the most. not got a lot of. meaning is that what. i got back on the us about out on me i'm one. of the first to have.
6:36 pm
at first because you didn't know where her daughter had been taken and then she began her asylum process what was it like to go through the process of seeking asylum knowing that you didn't have your child what the. thing is a moment when the little bit. what was it like the first interview. he had. with a. little. segment i was thinking mentor and me idea what happens on the plane might not be when they least. they don't know and then what are going to vary from want to be with the. after that interview the asylum officer rejected her case
6:37 pm
or only hold then was that any mean grecian judge would reverse it but she wasn't the only separated parent that received a negative finding. because i want to get all of this young no no no and when you wonder. to explain what was happening and nobody's going to win. only home he committed. he asked betty five questions that weren't related to her case where did you come in where where's your child and then proceeded to affirm the negative finding of. the asylum officer and that was it and that f. course is at the end of that you have a final order removal i spoke of her work on betty scase ophelia drafted a three hundred page motion documenting evidence of the threats betty face to backing on to death. i made a request for reconsideration directly to the asylum office in houston to
6:38 pm
a first it was just a letter like hey this you know i think this this decision was wrong and here's the legal reasons why and then i just started they contacting the asylum office like daley brain and then thankfully they did so then they turned over their own decision they agreed that the there was a legal basis for the credible fear finding and they placed her in proceedings and that was that's where we are now and then of course right after that is when betty was finally released with her daughter so you have to do all that for her to be able to at least have a case here now i mean it's it's yes or you know i'm sorry if you don't if she doesn't have you like she will be on him back probably yes it's hard to say in this particular set of circumstances i do think that it's true that probably her case would just be dead in the water and she wouldn't be able to go forward and apply for asylum if she didn't have counsel because i don't know how how would they know that they needed to make a request for reconsideration right i mean it's it's without a i don't know how they do it without lawyers. being.
6:39 pm
for now betty and her daughter will be able to stay and wait to see if she's officially granted asylum and allowed to remain in the u.s. she was lucky to have a persistent lawyer but not every parent had one and even then it's not always a guarantee. europeans ok they're coming in. you. know the media. folk barons who've already been sent back without their children the future is uncertain. when we were on the road as we tracked down another father who was separated from his child and then deported. he asked us to hide his identity because of the threats he's been facing on the u.s.
6:40 pm
we call him but i will. he told us he needed to leave here because the drug trafficker had killed his cousin and threatened to do the same to him one day i always said he would work for him. to molest and very had almost all the news out of the whole. of it was but also rather. he told us that he and his four year old son crossed at one of the bridges into texas to ask for asylum from a bill of one of the remarkable again me over and over so was the result of your love you so you will be. so more progressive over there while a reporter while you were in your office of the rule of law and saw. but then he son was taken from him and i was sent to a detention center he said immigration agents were not interested in hearing he's asylum claim instead he was given a document to sign and soon after he was deported so you have the ability him or
6:41 pm
her because it was over probably the work of some of. this woman says that arm of the man who was. over the. last not if you don't see him i mean want to. see almost all the. loans at all that rafael in the most hold a. little luck. and left a little. bit of a problem with the world of the world so. told us that he was given documents to sign and that he didn't know what they wear for you only one reason because you are from the potomac you only on him or not. everyone no matter where you're going on the political move on from here and i think there's i don't know if it is so i mean it's only. through your we don't have you.
6:42 pm
read up on both only. we don't know what they signed because they weren't given copies but neither expected or wanted to be deported. we do know that this form was given to parents in detention while they were separated from their children says that the form must be read to the alien parents in the language that he she understands that it's obviously in english and it gives the parents two options one of them is to be deported with their child and the other one is to be deported without their child but nowhere here says that they have the right to seek legal counsel. according to a lawsuit filed by the american civil liberties union a number of parents reported being threatened and coerced into signing this document. a judge then ordered the government to add a third option requesting a lawyer. as we were filming we heard about a group of detained parents that had been given this new form in late july the
6:43 pm
forms had three options which was i want to be deported with my child i want to be deported without my child or want to talk to a lawyer essentially is what the options were but according to lawyers who met with these parents they didn't really have an option of the boxes had been pre-checked by hand for a option an option one which was i want to be deported with my child and the officers told everyone that they had to sign and we were the first journalist they spoke to about what happened. in the detention center doesn't allow cameras in so we arrange phone calls with them through and in ca sion house a local nonprofit that works with immigrants all that. you know maybe one of those parents was mighty young we changed his name because he's afraid of retaliation by immigration officials for speaking about what happened. after being separated from his son for months they were reunited on a bus along with other parents and their children. rather than going to.
6:44 pm
yemen. but then he says federal immigration agents have boarded the bus and asked the parents to get off. they were given. they're supposed to have an option but they didn't really have no they didn't have the option at all i mean it was pretty tracked and they're also getting out. another father we spoke to recounted the same. thing.
6:45 pm
yes there will also make of dignity a lot i don't know. if he had signed he would have been giving up his son's chance to fight for asylum. cause again garth implementable. seven parents refused to sign according to a new house and were separated from their children again you know what keep us on rushing about on their windows and. they don't want to sign i want to be deported without my child but the same time scene i want to be deported with my child means their child can be brought back to insecurity and violence and possible death just this the impossible choice they're trying to make without attorneys trying to make it while they're in detention while
6:46 pm
they're being jarobi cards they're given five ten minutes to fill these forms and those seven parents who refused to sign were incredibly strong because they were getting yelled at by and they'd just seen their kids for the first time in three months and they still refused to sign and then everybody figured by their kids. their parents allegations were filed as part of the a.c.l.u. so lawsuit and a few weeks later one parent was released and reunited but the rest including the fathers we spoke to remain in detention. the department of homeland security and the department of justice declined multiple requests for an interview. families now are left to deal with the consequences like. when this reporter went to where he starter had recently been released to a relative in the us after nearly three months in a shelter. he wants her to stay to pursue her own asylum claim even though it means he doesn't know when or if he will see her again. i thought
