GENEVA - Teenagers stood inside a metal cage outside U.N. headquarters in Geneva on Monday to punctuate a protest by American and Mexican activists demanding that migrant children in U.S. custody be reunited with parents seeking asylum.
Mexico struck a deal with Washington 10 days ago to avert punitive U.S. tariffs over the issue, which forces the mostly Central American asylum seekers to await the outcome of their U.S. asylum claims in Mexico. “In the past five months, 2,500 children have been separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. This is despite a judge’s order to stop and to reunify the children,” Randi Weingarten, AFT president, told a small gathering.A Human Rights Council panel is reviewing the complaint this week, Weingarten told Reuters. The AFT represents 1.7 million teachers, nurses and public service employees.
The Trump administration said on Friday it was changing the way it vets people who want to sponsor minors who crossed the border alone in an effort to speed up the release of thousands of migrant children. About 13,200 children are in custody, a spokeswoman said.
