Emma McIntyre—Getty Images for Turner  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 20, 2018 4:59 PM UTC George and [Amal Clooney](http://time.com/5305987/amal-clooney-george-speech/) may spend most of their time in the U.K., but the actor and lawyer are not turning a blind eye to the [current political situation](http://time.com/5315152/new-jersey-detention-center-democrats/) in the U.S. In a statement shared with [the _Hollywood Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/george-amal-clooney-donate-100000-aid-migrant-children-1121758?utm%5Fsource=twitter) on Tuesday, the Clooneys made public their donation to support the rights of immigrant children. “At some point in the future our children will ask us: ‘Is it true, did our country really take babies from their parents and put them in detention centers?’ And when we answer yes, they’ll ask us what we did about it. What we said. Where we stood,” the Clooneys told _THR_. “We can’t change this administration’s policy but we can help defend the victims of it.” To that end, their Clooney Foundation for Justice plans to give $100,000 to the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights. The Young Center [defines itself as](https://www.theyoungcenter.org/) “a champion for the rights and best interests of unaccompanied immigrant children, making sure that wherever they land, whether here in the U.S. or in their home country, they are safe.” The Clooneys’ donation comes amid the Trump [administration’s policy](http://time.com/5317269/family-separation-policy-donald-trump-pause/) of separating children and adults at the U.S. border has come under fire, with recent footage released of unaccompanied minors held in detention centers and reports of [“tender age” shelters](http://time.com/5316764/toddler-immigrants-tender-age-shelters/) housing children in crisis. The Clooneys are not strangers to political activism: George has spoken out against the [situation in Darfur](http://time.com/4847706/george-clooney-sudan-lobbying/) and voiced his [views on Trump](http://time.com/4678775/clooney-trump-bannon-hollywood/), while Amal’s [life work](http://time.com/5221820/amal-clooney-reuters-myanmar/) is as a lawyer representing a number of human rights cases in international court. The Clooneys also previously donated $1,000,000 to the Southern Poverty Law Center to counteract hate groups, following white supremacist activity [in Virginia last year.](http://time.com/4911856/amal-george-clooney-donation-fight-hate-groups/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/"},"headline":"George and Amal Clooney Just Donated $100,000 to Help Immigrant Children","datePublished":"2018-06-20T16:59:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:48.540Z","description":"\"We can’t change this administration’s policy, but we can help defend the victims of it.”","url":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt60b63dee1019701d/698933770a4a22ec609d3004/george-amal-clooney-afi.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt60b63dee1019701d/698933770a4a22ec609d3004/george-amal-clooney-afi.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"American Film Institute's 46th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to George Clooney - Reception","caption":"American Film Institute's 46th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to George Clooney - Reception","creditText":"Emma McIntyre—Getty Images for Turner","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/","name":"George and Amal Clooney Just Donated $100,000 to Help Immigrant Children"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Nearly 2,000 Children Have Been Separated From Their Families During Trump Border Crackdown","description":"Nearly 2,000 children were separated from their families during a six-week period in April and May, as the Trump Administration cracked down on illegal immigration with a “zero-tolerance” policy of separating families at the border","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mdVWChjR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-06-18T17:11:32.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mdVWChjR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/","duration":"PT3M26S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5317323/george-amal-clooney-immigrant-donation/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
