US Threatens Jail, Family Separation for Migrant Deportation

The US government is using tough methods to make migrants leave the country.

They are telling families like the Vargases that if they don't go back to their home country, they could go to jail or be separated from their children.

The Vargases had asked to stay because they said they were in danger in their home country, but they were scared and chose to leave instead.

The government says they are following the rules, but some people think this is too harsh.

Many migrants are giving up their cases and leaving because they don't want to be in jail or separated from their families.

The number of people being detained and forced to leave has gone up a lot since President Trump took office.
