Join the LA Law Library book discussion group as we continue our year-long examination of immigration policies and issues with a discussion of Separated: An American Tragedy, by Jacob Soboroff.  As a correspondent for NBC news, Soboroff was among the first to report on the Trump administration’s family separation policy.  Beyond the headlines lay an untold multilayered story. Separated weaves together the voices of one separated family from Guatamala; the heroes who emerged to challenge the separation policy and worked on the ground to reunite parents with children; and Soboroff’s own story covering the issues at the border in Texas, California and Arizona, with administration officials in Washington, DC, and inside the disturbing detention facilities.

Awards:

• LA Times Book Prize finalist
• American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award Finalist
• Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television and Political Journalism (individual achievement by a national journalist)
• Soboroff, Julia Ainsley and team awarded 2019 Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism
