Over the past few years, issues of immigration, border security and the well-being of migrant children have become growing matters of concern for the American public as children spend extended periods in detention centers and the conditions of life in those centers come into question.
Compounding the problem was the 2018 Trump administration policy issued by then-attorney general Jeff Sessions to separate migrant children from their families.
Although that practice was ended by one of President Trump's executive orders in July of that year, the effects of enacting it are still clear at the remaining detention center in Florida.
