New York State Bar Association calls to end the inhumane treatment of detained immigrant children
The New York State Bar Association issued a resolution over the weekend and on Monday it issued an official call for the Trump administration to end its inhumane treatment of immigrant children detained at the border, and to see them provided with basic necessities, including medical care, and reunited with their parents and families.
“We condemn, in the strongest terms possible, the shameful and merciless treatment of children in the custody of the federal government,” said NYSBA President Hank Greenberg. “The conditions under which many of them are being held gravely threaten their well-being and physical and emotional development. It is unconscionable and must cease immediately.”
As outlined in the resolution, the NYSBA is calling on the U.S. government to abide by the law, and to respect due process and access to justice.
