2018, Donald Trump's most notorious decision as president had
secretly been in effect for months before most Americans became
aware of the astonishing inhumanity being perpetrated by their own
government. Jacob Soboroff was among the first journalists to
expose this reality after seeing firsthand the living conditions of
the children in custody. His influential series of reports ignited
public scrutiny that contributed to the president reversing his own
policy and earned Soboroff the Cronkite Award for Excellence in
Political Broadcast Journalism and, with his colleagues, the 2019
Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism. But beyond the headlines,
the complete, multilayered story lay untold. How, exactly, had such
a humanitarian tragedy-now deemed "torture" by physicians-happened
on American soil? Most important, what has been the human
experience of those separated children and parents? Soboroff has
spent the past two years reporting the many strands of this complex
narrative, developing sources from within the Trump administration
who share critical details for the first time. He also traces the
dramatic odyssey of one separated family from Guatemala, where
their lives were threatened by narcos, to seek asylum at the U.S.
border, where they were separated-the son ending up in Texas, and
the father thousands of miles away, in the Mojave desert of central
California. And he joins the heroes who emerged to challenge the
policy, and who worked on the ground to reunite parents with
children. In this essential reckoning, Soboroff weaves together
these key voices with his own experience covering this national
issue-at the border in Texas, California, and Arizona; with
administration officials in Washington, D.C., and inside the
disturbing detention facilities. Separated lays out
compassionately, yet in the starkest of terms, its human toll, and
makes clear what is at stake as America struggles to reset its
immigration policies post-Trump.
