CNN  — 

After becoming a first-time mom earlier this week, Eva Longoria feels a personal connection to separated migrant families.

“In light of my son’s birth I wanted to bring focus on the families that have been separated at the border. Having my son next to me, I cannot imagine him being taken from my arms,” Longoria wrote in an Instagram post, alongside a photo of her newborn son. “Families belong together which is why we must do what we can to reunite them. That’s why I am supporting @raicestexas and @aclu_nationwide to help fun legal services for separated families #KeepFamiliesTogether.”

Longoria welcomed her son on Tuesday.
