Torts ReportsTrauma at the BorderIn the Trauma at the Border podcast we will discuss family separation, the trauma it causes, tort claims fighting the policy, challenges to using torts, and how to hold the government accountable. After the Department of Justice implemented a “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal border crossing, ICE then detained and separated at least 5,400 families as of October 24, 2019. Separating children from their parents is horribly traumatic, leading to long-lasting mental, physical, and developmental consequences like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The Federal Tort Claims Act removes government immunity to be sued; therefore, affected individuals have often filed for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Dist...2020-08-1310 min

By having their loved ones physically removed from society, these families and communities suffer economically, socially, and emotionally. We argue that such harms should comprise a damage recognized by the government and in turn, constitute an actionable claim for the families and communities of incarcerated individuals.
The incarceration of loved ones negatively affect their families across multiple domains, from mental health and school performance to lifetime earnings and criminal justice engagement. Despite such destructive effects...2020-08-0711 min
