Youngest Separated Migrant Was 4-Month-Old Baby
-----------------------------------------------

A new report by The New York Times has revealed the youngest child to be
ripped from their family after migrating to the U.S. via the southern
border was a 4-month-old baby. The child, Constantin Mutu, was taken by
U.S. officials under Trump's "zero-tolerance" family separation policy
and put in a foster home. His father was put in an immigrant prison
before being deported to his native Romania. Constantin has since been
reunited with his parents and has displayed signs of emotional and
developmental issues. His parents say he is not walking or talking at 20
months.
