Temporary Protected Status (TPS) means everything to me. I’m a TPS holder, my family has TPS, my father, mother and sisters. TPS allows us to be with our families.

Send a QUICK Letter to STOP Family Separation

Forcibly taking children away from their parents? This seems too cruel to be real, but this is exactly what the Trump administration is doing to immigrant families at the border. In fact more than 100 children as young as 1 years old, are being separated from their parents, and more than 700 children have been taken from their parents so far since October 2017. Separating young children is unspeakably cruel and inhumane. This is not who we aspire to be as a nation. Help us stop this by writing a letter to the editor telling Congress and D.H.S. Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen that we strongly oppose separating infants and children from their parents.
