Picture...

PHOTO: A two-year-old Honduran asylum seeker cries as her mother is searched and detained near the U.S.-Mexico border on June 12, 2018, in McAllen, Texas.
















The father of the young girl from Honduras whose picture has become an iconic image of the immigration battle now says that his daughter and wife were never separated by U.S. authorities.
A picture of the little girl crying for her mother was widely circulated and while the photographer made it clear he didn't know the fate of the pair,  but it was used otherwise.
The girl and her mother were photographed after crossing the border in the Rio Grande Valley by Customs and Border Protection last week. 
Your Trusted Media is at work? The photographer, John Moore, said that he saw the pair were together when they were taken from the scene, but some groups started using the photo in relation to the policy that resulted in families being separated at the border.
