Since May, over 2,000 children have been separated from their parents in after they crossed the Southern U.S. border in Texas, as part of a new immigration strategy presented by the Trump Administration.

Cardi B also reacted to the crisis on Instagram yesterday with a picture of a young boy crying out of fear after being separated by his family. The post also included instructions on how to call local representatives in order to make a difference, with “DO IT NOW!!” as the caption.

DO IT NOW !!
