Six news organizations are partnering together to track down information about the migrant children being held in detention centers and shelters across the country after being 
separated from their families upon crossing the U.S.–Mexico border.

BuzzFeed News announced this week that it was uniting with ProPublica, The Intercept, Univision News, Animal Politico and Plaza Publica to gather research about the Trump
administration’s "zero tolerance" policy, which seeks to prosecute anyone crossing into the U.S. illegally via the southern border.

“Amid a heated national debate about the policy, actual information about the whereabouts and welfare of separated children is hard to come by,” BuzzFeed said in a statement
Wednesday.

The media outlets said they hope to crowdsource information because the federal government is not providing any to state agencies.

Thousands of protesters gathered across the country on Saturday for “Families Belong Together” marches protesting the Trump administration's immigration policies.

President Trump has faced severe backlash in recent weeks for his administration's zero tolerance immigration policy, which led to more than 2,000 migrant children being separated
from their parents from April to May.

U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the administration on Tuesday to immediately move to reunify immigrant families. Sabraw criticized the practice of separating families
without “any effective system or procedure” for tracking where the children were being sent.

It's disgusting when private companies are the ones doing this as a PR move, instead of the government actually doing its job.

some of these kids were separated so young that they're gonna grow up not even knowing their own first name

More fuel for Trump's hate on the medias.
But hey at this point, is Trump hates you, that pretty much means you're doing things right.
