Sofia Carson weighs in on Trump's inhumane immigration policy

Sofia Carson took to Twitter to raise awareness for the plight of a 6 year old girl who has been separated from her father by President Trump's harsh and inhumane immigration policy.

Little Heyli has not seen her father for 6 weeks since she crossed the Mexican border into America with him in May.

Her mother and her aunt informed the Texas Tribune that she is alone and has been crying down the phone from the Arizona facility where she is being held against her will due to Trump's zero tolerance on immigration. 

Heyli's life is now in limbo. She is currently scared and alone whilst her father is being held in a detention centre north of Houston.

Carson has shown support for the Families Belong Together protest and tweeted a link to the Texas Tribune article, saying: "no words will ever suffice."
