This picture became the face of the Zero Tolerance policy of the Trump Administration. The picture that showed kids being taken from the parents and separated at the border.
The only problem is that this picture and this story is completely false. The Photographer, Border Patrol Agent and the Child's Father all have chimed in.
CBS News:
The picture of a Honduran girl crying as she and her mother are detained in Texas has grabbed worldwide attention and come to symbolize the intense debate about separating children from their parents.
Time magazine put the young girl on this week's cover, but the Border Patrol agent involved in the dramatic scene says the photo might be a little misleading. That agent said the mother and daughter were never separated and are still together.

"They're using it to symbolize a policy and that was not the case in this picture," Ruiz said. "It took less than two minutes. As soon as the search was finished, she immediately picked the girl up, and the girl immediately stopped crying."
Daily Mail: (Statement from Father)
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'
Typical for the Media and the Left in the United States, it is propaganda. You have to really dig to find the true story. Don't always just believe what they show you or tell you.
