00:00Separation from your parent is a profoundly traumatizing event.

00:06With systematic separation of children from parents,

00:11officially, it wasn't happening.

00:14But it was happening.

00:16♪

00:19You should tell me how you got involved in all of this.

00:22Define all this.

00:25Their version of stopping people from coming into the country

00:28was taking children away from their parents

00:31so that people wouldn't come.

00:33Our field staff started to notice very young kids,

00:37tender age, anyone below five.

00:40That's kind of unusual, right?

00:42♪

00:46It was a very difficult time.

00:49That's kind of unusual, right?

00:51♪

00:54What Zero Tolerance did was turn their helpers

00:59into their worst nightmare.

01:01Freeze! Freeze!

01:03Don't move! Don't move!

01:05♪

01:12So if you thought the child was endangered,

01:15that's the only circumstance to which you would separate.

01:18Can't imagine doing it otherwise.

01:20The government thought that showing the world separations

01:24through the eyes of people like me,

01:26they would scare the s*** out of people

01:28that were attempting to come from coming.

01:30Is that the right strategy?

01:31If you're part of a family and you break the law,

01:33you will be incarcerated.

01:35I've honestly never seen anything like that.

01:37There are about 1,500 kids in there.

01:40You're a parent.

01:42Don't you have any empathy for what they go through?

01:45We now know this was right from the get-go.

01:47Someone must have been planning this.

01:49A federal judge says the government needs to reunite

01:51young immigrant children with their parents.

01:53We had 14 days to reunify all of the children under five.

01:57Their assessment form in the system

01:59doesn't have that much information.

02:01What's your mom's name? Mom.

02:03Like every mom, their name is Mom.

02:05Do I call this child abuse?

02:07Do I call it torture?

02:09Separation was the purpose.

02:12Prosecution was the tool.

02:15It's not over.

02:17Five years later, we are still trying to reunite

02:19up to 1,000 children.

02:23There is really nothing to stop it.

02:25This is a new era.

02:28It troubles me profoundly

02:32that it could happen again.
