An investigation by our partners at the public media program Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting shows that government’s shelters have turned to police officer over children’s behavior. The World’s host Marco Werman spoke with Laura Morel, one of the reporters who worked on the investigation, about what this means for the migrant children and the conditions they face in government custody.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
