More than 144,000 migrants were apprehended or denied entry into the U.S. in June of 2019.
At the time, this was the largest number in 13 years.
More than half were families with children, and about 8% were unaccompanied minors. Texas shelters alone held more than 5,800 migrant children.
We’ve compiled a list of organizations that are mobilizing to try to help children separated from their parents and asylum seekers at the Texas-Mexico border. Please visit their websites to donate. Make sure to follow them on social media, too, to stay in-the-know about the steps you can take to help.
