MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Activist group League of United Latin American Citizens or LULAC in Wisconsin has kicked off a billboard campaign in Milwaukee asking for help keeping immigrant families together and an end to statements criminalizing immigrants and asylum seekers.
The rotating billboard shows a child with a doll and a phone number to call Congress.
A refugee family, who was separated at the border, shared their story and experience from one of the detention centers where they say they were treated unfairly.
LULAC has paid for two billboards in Milwaukee. One is near the airport spur, the other is in the city's southside off 94th and 13th St.
