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.

If ice (not ICE) is headed to Texas, bet on Ted Cruz heading out of town. This should be a possible betting on those gambling apps. BetMGM and FanDuel -- DO BETTER.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

Separate from all of the horrors, ICE doesn't pay their bills. Lehigh Co (PA) is evicting them for non-payment of rent. The Marshall Projecct reports they are not paying bills for medical treatment. All this while ICE pays bro paying MAGA & MAGA leaning influencers.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
