Two teenage brothers left Honduras in 2017 with their mother to seek asylum in the United States. They arrived during the period of President Trump鈥檚 鈥渮ero tolerance鈥� policy and were separated from their mom, who was put in detention while they were sent to a shelter for migrant children. By the time President Trump ended family separations, the boys鈥� mother had already been deported. The two boys are now living with relatives in a dangerous neighborhood in Philadelphia, struggling to understand English and get along in a new school. Their future is uncertain.
