the fact that the US has a legally defined limit for how long CHILDREN can be in concentration camps, LET ALONE the fact that it often exceeds that limit, is one of those nightmare facts that tells you more about our civilization than we'd care to admit
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.
