A recent analysis from the Brookings Institution reveals that more than 100,000 children in the United States have experienced separation from their parents due to immigration enforcement actions under the Trump administration. It is estimated that approximately 145,000 children have been affected as ICE operations surged. The report highlights that about three-quarters of these children are likely U.S. citizens. As the crackdown intensifies, concerns are raised regarding the well-being of these children and the lack of available care options. New state laws have emerged to prevent affected children from landing in foster care, and families are utilizing legal tools to free immigrant children from federal custody.
