AP Explains: US has split up families throughout its history
Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Some critics of the forced separation of Latino children from their migrant parents say the practice is unprecedented. But it's not the first time the U.S. government has split up families, detained children or allowed others to do so.
Throughout American history, during times of war and unrest, authorities have cited various reasons and laws to take children away from their parents. Here are some examples:
SLAVERY
NATIVE AMERICAN BOARDING SCHOOLS
POVERTY
IMMIGRATION
JAPANESE INTERNMENT CAMPS
