Family Reunification Program

Al Otro Lado is the primary nonprofit organization representing parents who were separated from their children before and during “Zero Tolerance” and deported without them. Al Otro Lado staff and volunteers have traveled extensively throughout Central America and Mexico to meet with separated parents and work to reunify them with their children. Al Otro Lado has reunified over 35 deported parents with their children in the United States, and is currently working to reunify dozens more. Al Otro Lado works closely with the Ms. L v. ICE Steering Committee and the ACLU to advocate for the rights of deported parents and their children.

Al Otro Lado monitors continued family separations at the US-Mexico border and engages media, researchers, elected officials, litigators, and other advocates to bring continued family separations to the public eye and advocate for policy changes that would end separation at the border.
