Children belong in schools and homes, not in prison camps. But today, the U.S. government is holding hundreds of children in detention at the border and in centers like the one in Homestead, Florida—and that number keeps growing.

Most of these children have fled violence and poverty in Central America and are seeking asylum in the United States. Many were separated from their family members or relatives after crossing into the U.S.
