'Torn from Her Arms' is a new Lifetime movie, based on actual events that take place during the ongoing crisis at the UD border. The movie walks us through the mind-numbing story of a mother and daughter who try to find their way back to each other after being separated. 

In the film, Judy Reyes portrays Thelma Garcia, a Texas Immigration lawyer who works endlessly, in the hopes of one day reuniting the pair, while Gloria Reuben plays the role of a journalist reporter, Ginger Thompson, who actually made headlines with the story. 'Torn From Her Arms' follows the lives of Cindy Madrid and her six-year-old daughter, Ximena, who fled violence in El Salvador for safety into the States, only to be separated at the border as the Administration’s Zero Tolerance Policy's protocol.
