Washington, DC – The Trump administration recently restarted family immigration detention, holding migrant parents and children at ICE detention centers in Karnes County and Dilley Texas. This dangerous decision marks a troubling return to the detention of families seeking asylum and safety in the United States.
In response, Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director of America’s Voice, shared the following statement:
“This is exactly what we warned about, Trump’s obsession with immigration is indiscriminate and heartless. His Administration is once again targeting women and children, separating families and harming our communities. Family separation and detention was one of the lowest points of the first Trump Administration and Americans resoundingly rejected it. This is another proof point of Trump’s harmful obsession with immigration and the targeting of our families no matter the cost.”
