The Trump administration's tactics against undocumented immigrants extend to children, with recent initiatives involving unwarranted home visits by armed agents. These checks aim to ensure minors aren’t abused, but many see them as a way to identify undocumented migrants for deportation. Advocates argue these actions create panic among families and often lead to minors being removed from their homes. In a span of two months, 100 children faced federal custody due to the deportation of their family members, highlighting a concerning trend in immigration enforcement targeting vulnerable populations.
Numerous minors have been subjected to deportation proceedings after such checks, which are by definition a tactic of migratory control, says Jason Boyd, vice-president of federal policy for the organization Kids in Need of Defense.
In two months, 100 children have been removed from their homes and placed under federal custody after the family members they live with were detained or deported.
These welfare checks are planting fear, panic and confusion among children and family members around the country.
The real objective of these welfare checks is actually to find more undocumented migrants, both children and adults, in order to deport them.
