ICE arrested at least 27,000 parents between January and August 2025, separating them from their children and detaining them far from family members. The mass arrests and family separations have created a humanitarian crisis affecting infants and young children, many requiring specialized care their detained parents cannot provide. The policy reverses Biden-era protections and mirrors the family separation practices of Trump's first term, subjecting vulnerable asylum-seeking families to prolonged detention and generational trauma.
