Some parents are set to argue that the U.S. government intended to inflict emotional distress on families by separating them.
“If policy doesn’t work, if lobbying doesn’t work, if press doesn’t work, oftentimes government having to pay for the wrongs it has committed is the best way to get the government’s attention,” said Erik Walsh, a lawyer with the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Arnold & Porter, which is spearheading the claims as part of its pro bono work on immigration issues. “The government clearly intended to inflict emotional distress.
“I was … wanting to cry and scream, but I made myself strong so I wouldn’t make him feel bad,” said Patricia. “He would ask me, ‘Mommy, when are we going to be together, when are we going to be reunited?’ And I would say, ‘Ya, mijo, ya,’ ” a phrase meant to soothe. “It’s like a void,” said Krell. “The fact that had a kid didn’t matter to them in terms of their determination whether she should be deported.”
“He said, ‘Mom, I’m leaving now with you,’ ” said Patricia, a petite 27-year-old who shares apple cheeks with her son. “But they didn’t give him to me.” “He’ll wake up in the middle of the night crying,” she said. “And then he’ll turn and hug and say, ‘OK, we’re together, mom.’ ”
