This family isn’t the only family that got affected by Trump administration’s disgusting efforts. According to a survey:

“About 2,500 children appear to have been separated from their parents.”

The law firm that was representing her case insists that this case represents the struggle of every other immigrant family that got separated. Furthermore the representative of the firm Mr Donovan explained:

“It is time to put this chapter, this very dark and sad and sick and disgusting chapter in this part of American history, behind us. Those parents should be reunited with their families now. I authorized funding today for an amended complaint for a class action so that all individuals just like Ms. Mejis-Mejia can be represented in this case. So, Ms Mejia-Mejia will lead a class of plaintiffs who have been denied their basic right of custody and care of their children.”

Before reuniting with her son, Mejia talked to the media and shared her plea. She stated;

“All I want is to be with my son. I want to see him. I appreciate all the attorneys and their help. My son is sad. I know my son, and like any mother I had a feeling that he is sad. First and foremost he said we are going to be together.”
