COLUMBUS, Ind. -- Hoosiers are finding ways to show support for the immigrant children being separated from their families at the U.S. border.
Protestors at Wednesday's "Rally for Refugees" were pleased with President Trump's reversal and executive order that will keep future immigrant families together, but they're still leery about what will happen to children who are already separated from their parents.

Kari Tyree organized Wednesday's rally and made sure that each protester received a checklist of things they can do to help. That checklist included things like donating to organizations that help the cause and contacting their local representatives.
"I'm a mother," Tyree said. "I'm a grandmother. I'm an elementary school teacher. I'm a human being. I believe these children are being treated less than human. I believe it's child abuse."
Donations are also being collected by a group called KIND, which stands for Kids in Need of Defense.
According to the group, 50 percent of those immigrant children have nobody to represent them in immigration court.
Another group collecting money for immigrant legal services is RAICES, which stands for Refugee And Immigrant Center for Legal Services.
