The Trump administration has resumed detaining families with children as part of its immigration crackdown, reopening Karnes and Dilley detention centers in Texas for this purpose. This move contrasts with the Biden administration's approach, which had moved away from family detention. Tricia McLaughlin from DHS emphasized adherence to deportation orders, urging illegal aliens to self-deport. However, immigration advocates criticize this decision, highlighting the traumatic impact on children and arguing families should not face detention while navigating their cases.
The bottom line is that these individuals have final deportation orders from federal judges. This Administration is not going to ignore the rule of law.
Detention is harmful and traumatic for everyone, but especially children. Families should be able to navigate their immigration cases without the threat of detention.
