Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds donate $2m to protect immigrant children’s rights

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Hollywood’s power couple, donate $2 million to help migrant children who are separated from their parents at the Mexico-US border.

In a press release, the couple stated that they made a hefty donation to a non-profit human rights organisation to "defend the rights and best interests of immigrant children” reported E Online.

"Over the last few years, our perspective has grown and we've realised we have to do everything possible to foster more compassion and empathy in this world,” the statement read.

US President Donald Trump’s policy of separating children from immigrant parents has caused much outrage in the United States, as pictures of children incarcerated made it to the mainstream media.
