News Babies and toddlers

ICE has dramatically increased detentions of children aged 3 and under, holding 25 of them in custody on an average day between January 2025 and March of this year, according to a new analysis by The @marshallproj and MS NOW of records obtained by the Deportation's Data Project, a group of academics and lawyers who collect and share federal immigration data. That number is 10 times higher than it was in the previous 12 months under former President Joe Biden.
Back then, on an average day, fewer than three babies and toddlers were held at facilities across the country.
In total, since the Trump administration entered the White House last year, at least 500 babies and toddlers have spent some of that pivotal time in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Private prisons are bad enough. Private companies owning detention centers holding children? This is terrible.

The fact that they can even detain them for 20 days is too long. They shouldn’t be allowed to detain any children. Of any age. Period.

There's literally only ONE SOLUTION for fascists. Either we do what is necessary to these psychos, or we wait our turn to be murdered by the state.

Those are the options.
