In June 2018, Americans became aware that the government was deliberately separating migrant parents and children at U.S. border facilities. Jacob Soboroff was among the first journalists to expose this reality after seeing firsthand the living conditions of the children in custody. He then spent two years reporting the many strands of this complex narrative, using inside government sources, laying out the human toll and making it clear what is at stake as America struggles to reset its immigration policies.
