At least 11,000 American children have been separated from their parents in Trump’s immigration raids

These measures have disproportionately affected Latino families, with an average of more than 50 children separated from one of their parents every day due to immigration detentions, according to the investigation of that prestigious media.

In addition, mothers are being deported at four times the rate that in the previous administration, that of Democrat Joe Biden (2021-2025) and the majority of those detained, 75% do not have serious criminal records, indicates the medium.

“Calculated attack on Latino families”

According to ProPublica, The analysis presents the most detailed count to date of U.S. citizen children whose immigrant parents have been arrested, detained or deported.

It was based on I-213 records from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), obtained by the University of Washington, which include data on the citizenship and number of minor children of each detainee.

The data covers late 2021 to mid-2025 and only includes ICE arrests, not Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

“Once again, what we are witnessing is a calculated attack on working Latino families“Beatriz López, executive director of Voto Latino, lamented in a statement.

“Targeting mothers. Separating families. Deporting and imprisoning children. These are acts of a regime, not of a presidency, and demand accountability”he added.
