ProPublica: These Immigrant Kids Were Once Protected. Under Trump, Their Deportations Have Tripled.

ProPublica’s analysis found unaccompanied minors are being detained and removed at about three times the rate as during the final years of the first Trump presidency:

"A first-of-its-kind analysis of Immigration and Customs Enforcement data found that unaccompanied minors living in the U.S. are being detained and removed at about three times the rate they were during the last time President Donald Trump was in office. In addition, a ProPublica analysis of court data found that immigration judges, who report to the Justice Department, have issued more than 10,000 removal and voluntary departure orders each month for immigrant minors who either migrated alone or with relatives, a rate that is nearly four times higher than in Trump’s last term."
