Now a major film by Academy Award winner Errol Morris"The seminal book on the childseparation policy." Rachel MaddowAwardwinning NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff lays bare the full truth behind America?s systematic separation of families at the USMexico border. Featuring updated reporting and a new afterword.New York Times Bestseller Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist American Book Award Winner American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award FinalistIn June 2018, Donald Trump?s most notorious decision as president had secretly been in effect for months before most Americans became aware of the astonishing inhumanity being perpetrated by their own government. Jacob Soboroff was among the first journalists to expose this reality after seeing firsthand the living conditions of the children in custody. His influential series of reports ignited public scrutiny that contributed to the president reversing his own policy and earned Soboroff the Cronkite Award for Excellence in Political Broadcast Journalism and, with his colleagues, the 2019 Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism.But beyond the headlines, the complete, multilayered story lay untold. How, exactly, had such a humanitarian tragedynow deemed ?torture? by physicianshappened on American soil? Most important, what has been the human experience of those separated children and parents?Soboroff has spent the past two years reporting the many strands of this complex narrative, developing sources from within the Trump administration who share critical details for the first time. He also traces the dramatic odyssey of one separated family from Guatemala, where their lives were threatened by narcos, to seek asylum at the U.S. border, where they were separatedthe son ending up in Texas, and the father thousands of miles away, in the Mojave desert of central California. And he joins the heroes who emerged to challenge the policy, and who worked on the ground to reunite parents with children.In this essential reckoning, Soboroff weaves together these key voices with his own experience covering this national issueat the border in Texas, California, and Arizona; with administration officials in Washington, D.C., and inside the disturbing detention facilities. Separated lays out compassionately, yet in the starkest of terms, its human toll, and makes clear what is at stake as America struggles to reset its immigration policies postTrump.
