The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We found the Trump administration kept about 300 kids at the Dilley detention center for more than a month, despite a long-standing legal settlement that generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days.

I left academia is 2017 so I admit there are issues, but consider that some people lie and use AI to write their applications. It is logical that employers would want to hear from someone that knows you and that they trust.

ICE has detained four children from Minnesota school district, officials say U.S. immigration authorities detained at least four children including a 5-year-old from a Minneapolis-area school district this month as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, school...

A five-year-old. Wearing a Spiderman backpack.

Children should never be pawns in a violent political game.
