ICE "has detained over 6,200 children during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to recently released numbers analyzed by the Marshall Project."
“Every American should be shocked that we're incarcerating thousands of children,” Leecia Welch, chief legal counsel at Children's Rights. “It just adds up to an incredible amount of trauma."
@tusk81 Well then. From average daily detention of children under Biden, a rather large increase with Trump. So far.
“U.S. immigration authorities have long held children in detention, but to varying degrees across administrations. President Joe Biden ended family detention in 2021 and, by the final year of his presidency, ICE was holding a daily average of 24 children in custody. But after Trump revived the policy last year, the number jumped tenfold, to 226 children incarcerated on the average day since he came back into office.
This data was obtained from ICE by the Deportation Data Project, a group of academics and lawyers who collect federal immigration data through public records requests and share it with the public.”
@cobalt123 @tusk81 I love how every time a warning comes out about the Trump reign someone comes in and goes "but Biden was bad too!" and then proceeds to explain how he did something that was 1/10th as bad as what Trump is currently doing.
Can we stop trying to distract? Biden isn't running for reelection anyway. Let's focus on fixing this huh?
