Justice Department Faces Backlash Over Separation of Asylum Seeker and Son, LULAC Iowa Demands Immigration Reform

Leticia and her son, Yovany, who were separated at the US-Mexico border, have filed a lawsuit against the US government over their separation and detention conditions. The Justice Department is attempting to dismiss the suit, arguing that the decision to separate them was a "discretionary" one and that they cannot be held liable for mistreatment at private detention facilities. The case sheds light on the process behind family separation and raises questions about the Biden administration's stance on the issue. Leticia and Yovany continue to suffer from the effects of their separation, with Yovany experiencing frequent nightmares.
