George and Amal Clooney: their incredible (and very generous) gesture!<

Engaged geopolitically and politically, George and Amal Clooney have never hidden their convictions. The most adored couple of the moment has just proved it again and increased their sympathy capital. Far from glamour, the Hollywood actor and the British lawyer regularly make charitable donations. This time, the parents of twins Ella and Alexander (1 year since June 6) hit hard by donating $100,000 to an association for the defense of migrant children.

The association in question, Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights, said on Wednesday June 20 that it had received “generous support” of $100,000 from the Clooney couple and their Foundation for Justice. “There is a time when children will ask us: is it true that our country has really taken babies from their parents and placed them in detention centres? And when we answer 'yes', they will ask us what we We did. What we said, what position we took. We cannot change the policy of this government but we can help defend its victims," ​​the couple said in the association's statement.

The Clooney spouses, who have made other donations in recent months to support the mobilization for gun control, are part of a growing number of celebrities denouncing this policy of separation of children. Singer John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen announced last week that they had donated $288,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the powerful individual rights group, to bring attention to "torn families by the inhuman policy of the Trump administration".

In the face of growing outrage, Donald Trump signed an executive order to end the separation of migrant families who illegally crossed the border into Mexico. "I didn't like seeing families being separated," he said.
