March to keep families together today in Homestead

The Trump administration has reopened a 1,000-bed Homestead facility that once housed minors who entered the country looking for a better life, reviving a compound at a time when the White House is under fire for a new policy that separates children from parents detained by immigration authorities.

On Friday, community leaders and elected representatives were turned away for what was a planned tour of the facility.
