Approaching World Children's Day, Mobile Ads in Washington DC Demand an End to Child Migrant Detention
Washington, DC — Today and tomorrow, leading into World Children's Day (November 20), mobile ads calling attention to the detention of migrant children are being displayed throughout prominent streets of downtown DC. Although World Children’s Day should be a day of celebration for children all around the world, advocates highlight the contradiction of thousands of migrant children who remain detained in Health and Human Services (HHS) “emergency intake” and “influx” child detention sites.
