- A report indicates that over 500 babies and toddlers were detained during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
- The study found an average of 25 children aged three or younger were held daily between January 2025 and March 2026, a figure ten times higher than during the previous 12 months under Joe Biden.
- Between Trump’s second inauguration and March 2026, ICE held at least 175 babies and toddlers for longer than a court-mandated 20-day limit, a violation not observed during the final year of the Joe Biden administration.
- Medical experts, including Marsha Griffin, co-founder of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Council on Immigrant Child and Family Health, stated that detention is 'probably the most harmful time of their lives' for infants and toddlers.
- ICE and CoreCivic, a private prison operator, claim they are working to remove 'aliens' from detention and provide necessary supplies and care for detained children.
