'It's a sobering realization to note that this is something that is clearly a violation of international human rights law and it's happening in the United States,' said Dr. Ranit Mishori.
The Trump administration owes migrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border reparations for the trauma it inflicted on parents and children, a group of doctors have said in a new report shining a light on the long-lasting impacts President Donald Trump's"zero tolerance" policy has had on families.
Among parents, nearly every individual evaluated was diagnosed with PTSD, while many were diagnosed with depression and some with anxiety. However, both experts said that clear changes in mood and behavior, as well as new symptoms that presented themselves following separation at the border, clearly indicated that parents and children suffered trauma as a result of being separated.
The Trump administration's actions in separating families at the border and then refusing to inform parents and children of their loved ones' whereabouts—in some cases, for months—meet the criteria for both"torture" and"forced disappearance," the PHR report states. "Torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment are violations of human rights and are prohibited under domestic and international law in any and all circumstances," the report states.
Mishori and Hampton said parents who requested information from U.S. officials about the wellbeing and whereabouts of their children were, in some cases, not given answers for weeks and months at a time.
