A 2-year-old Honduran girl cries as her mother is searched and detained in McAllen, Texas, near the US-Mexico border. They had rafted across the Rio Grande and were stopped by US Border Patrol agents, according to Getty Images photographer John Moore. The photo went viral this past week as an example of the Trump administration's new "zero-tolerance" immigration policy. The administration has said it will refer everyone caught crossing the border illegally for prosecution, even if they are claiming to deserve asylum or have small children.
