Street art depicting children
locked in cages popped up
around Brooklyn on June 12,
offering a harrowing critique
of the U.S. Government’s handling
of undocumented immigrants
crossing America’s
southern border.
One of the cages was installed
on Ninth Street in
Park Slope, just outside the
YMCA frequented by six-foot
five-inch presidential candidate
Bill de Blasio, who
strolled past the five-bythree
foot instillation as he
entered the gym just before
9 a.m.
The chain-link cells,
which featured signs reading
“#NoKidsInCages,” were
meant to bring attention to
the family-separation policy
employed by federal immigration
offi cials since April
2018, according to the group
behind the street-art project.
“Guerrilla installations
popped up early this morning
in NYC as protest to the
more than 3,000 children separated
from their parents at
the border,” said RAICES
in a June 12 tweet . “This is
not history. This is happening
now. #NoKidsInCages is
about the children. We cannot
be a nation that separates
families.
RAICES — Refugee and
Immigrant Center for Education
and Legal Services
— is a Texas-based immigration
legal services nonprofit
organization, which
provided an accompanying
website to the 24 instillations,
they used to blast the
government’s policies cruel
and unusual.
“They live in cages. Sleep
on the floor. They cry out and
are not comforted. They’ve
spent an average of 154 days
away from their parents,”
the group said. “Six children
have died.”
The immigration organization
urged federal legislators
to support the “Keep
Families Together Act” — a
proposal first introduced by
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D–Red
Hook) in January. The bill
aims to end the family-separation
policy, which was presented
by President Donald
Trump as a “zero-tolerance”
policy to deter illegal border
crossings.
Police officers fanned out
across the city, dismantling
the cages within hours.
