Orlin's Law to End Family Separation | Seattle News

A heartbreaking tragedy sparked a bold new push for justice: Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is introducing Orlin’s Law, named after a three-year-old boy killed after being separated from his mother during immigration enforcement. The bill seeks to stop ICE from detaining parents unless there’s clear evidence of a public safety threat, and would establish a new office to protect detained parents’ rights — including custody decisions — ensuring families aren’t torn apart. Wendy Hernandez Reyes, Orlin’s mother, pleaded with officers to take her son with her, but he was placed with relatives. Now, she hopes this law will prevent other parents from enduring the same agony — even as she grieves her lost child. Jayapal is demanding answers from DHS, arguing that family separation hasn’t ended — it’s just evolved into new, devastating forms.
