Some older siblings left raising younger family members after parents' deportation, advocates say

Advocacy groups report that some older siblings have been left to care for their younger family members following the deportation of their parents. These older children are now tasked with raising their siblings because their parents were removed from the country. This situation has highlighted the challenges faced by families separated by deportation, as the responsibility for childcare shifts to the eldest children who must now manage household duties and provide essential care for their younger relatives.
