Perhaps no policy generated more outrage than the "zero tolerance" approach to illegal border crossings, which led to the separation of thousands of children from their parents, starting in April 2018. The public outcry was immediate and bipartisan. Four former First Ladies, including Laura Bush, condemned it as "cruel" and "immoral." Even then-First Lady Melania Trump expressed her dislike for the separations. Over 200 child welfare groups and the United Nations vocally opposed the practice, citing the severe trauma inflicted on children. Legal challenges from organizations like the ACLU resulted in a federal injunction mandating reunification, but a lack of proper tracking systems meant many families remained separated for years, some even after parents were deported.
