“Entangled Roots: The Role of Race in Policies that Separate Families, analyzes the three publicly-funded systems that separate families in the United States: immigration, criminal justice, and child welfare. In the immigration and criminal justice systems, family separation is usually an unconsidered, if not quite unintended, consequence of policy, as parents are incarcerated and sometimes deported without their children. In child welfare, family separation is the deliberate result of government policy, as children are removed from their homes out of immediate concerns for their safety. In each system, however, children suffer the consequences of separation. And in each system, children of color are more likely to experience separation and its associated harms." - Elisa Minoff
