Virginia Mori's illustration for Deseret News, for an article about family separation policy during the Trump Era, relating to immigration.
"The parents who were arrested in El Paso were apprehended by Border Patrol agents, then referred to federal prosecutors to be charged with illegal entry, then sent back to DHS custody and detained by ICE. Some were deported. Their children, meanwhile, ended up in Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters all over the country. And no one made any effort to record which parents corresponded to which children, making reunifications all but impossible"..
