\n\u201cI cannot let these children hurt any longer: Mi casa es la casa de ellos,\u201d the actress wrote in a letter to an organization that offers temporary care for the kids.
\nAlyssa Milano is ready to take action against President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201czero tolerance\u201d immigration policy, offering her New York home for detained immigrant children to reside in. <\/p>\n

The actress, who is a Brooklyn native, on Thursday penned a letter, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, to Cayuga Centers CEO Edward Myers Hayes, in which she asked to help his organization in fostering children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last few weeks have been heartbreaking for Americans,\u201d the actress wrote. \u201cWe have watched the inhumane destruction at our Southern border as innocent children, already traumatized, were essentially kidnapped from their families in furtherance of a vulgar, xenophobic Trump policy.\u201d <\/p>\n

Pleading that \u201cjailing children is simply wrong,\u201d Milano emphasized that the recent immigration policy marks a \u201cdark chapter in our nation\u2019s history\u201d as it is an exemplification of actions \u201cfueled by a twisted desire to criminalize the most vulnerable.\u201d <\/p>\n

After learning that Hayes\u2019 organization has offered temporary care for the immigrant children, Milano requested that her home also serve as a safe foundation for children. \u201cAs a mother, I know that children need to be reunited with their parents in the United States more than anything,\u201d Milano wrote. <\/p>\n

Though Trump recently signed an executive order to allow the children to join their families as they are criminally prosecuted, Milano reiterates that the order \u201cmakes no mention of reuniting children\u201d and the circumstances have already traumatized the children such that \u201cirreparable damage\u201d may have been done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese children need compassion, stability and love more than ever. To them, I offer my home and my heart; my love and whatever stability I can give them until they can be reunited with a parent,\u201d the actress wrote. <\/p>\n

Milano, who assured that she will \u201cregister with the appropriate authorities\u201d to be able to temporarily foster children, also promised to \u201cfight their cases\u201d and see that the immigrants are able to remain in the country. \u201cI am sure this is something many other Americans would consider a moral and patriotic duty,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Further pleading to Hayes to accept her offer, the actress vowed to give the children hope as their \u201cfaith is drained.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot let these children hurt any longer: Mi casa es la casa de ellos,\u201d Milano wrote in closing. <\/p>\n

Milano joins other Hollywood stars who have been vocal about the issue on social media, with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea Handler, Kumail Nanjiani, Reese Witherspoon and more blasting the policy. The immigration policy has also received criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Former first lady Laura Bush referred to the policy as “cruel” and “immoral” in a guest column for The Washington Post, while first lady Melania Trump addressed the controversy by saying she hated to see families separated at the border and hoped “both sides of the aisle” can reform the nation’s immigration laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
