The Refugee Action Collective organised a march and protest on Saturday 2 Avril 2011 against children in immigration detention outside the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation at Camp Road, Broadmeadows. Despite Labor's October announcement that all children would be released from detention, there are still more than 1,000 children locked up including more than 140 young asylum seekers from the ages of 13-18 are detained in the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation at Camp Road, Broadmeadows.

Près 100 children separated from migrant parents at the southern border in recent weeks under President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy have reached the Greater Los Angeles region, according to local immigrant rights organizations. Most of the children are 9 and younger and are housed in detention shelters or foster homes overseen by government-contracted shelters, the organizations said Wednesday. Few have been reunited with family or friends of the family. It is unclear what will happen to detained children and parents now that Trump has retreated from his 6-week-old practice of splitting families that illegally cross into the United States.

Immigrant advocates say Trump’s hard-line policy, which separated about 2,300 children from their parents, has taken a heavy toll on Los Angeles, home to a vast Central American population.
