Filing cites research on toxic stress and separation to explain effects of separation on children. Remember: the US public health official from HHS, Commander White, who led the govt effort to reunify separated families testified that the traumatic effects could be "lifelong."

According to the filing: One father APF (Dad1) & his son OPD, 7, were separated between May 15 & 21, 2018 after crossing into Arizona. They claim to be fleeing persecution in Guatemala and sought medical attention for OPD, who'd had surgery when he was 6 for a heart condition.

In filing: Dad1 says son still blames him for separation. Refuses to leave his side. Is now hyper-vigilant and withdrawn. Becomes terrified whenever he sees any adult in uniform.
