Ice Atrocities: "Children are being detained in record numbers, sometimes alone and where lawyers and family cannot find them."
"The image of immigration officers arresting five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos – in a blue bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack – in January sparked outrage across the country.
Celebrities from Ms Rachel to Madonna called for the closure of the Dilley immigration processing center, the Texas immigrant camp that held Ramos and many children like him. Lawyers filed complaints about contaminated food and shoddy healthcare, and hundreds of activists protested outside the detention camp. Within months, the government began sending fewer children to Dilley.
But the arrests of immigrant children did not stop. Instead, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than twice as many children this year through July as it did in the same period last year. Thus far in Donald Trump’s second term, ICE has arrested more than 8,500 children. Many of those children have been detained in locations where lawyers and family members couldn’t find them, such as hotels and hold rooms in office buildings.
Immigration lawyers said they believe the government is arresting children because it wants to remove as many immigrants as possible, regardless of their age or vulnerability."
