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

Deportations of unaccompanied immigrant children have surged under the Trump administration, tripling compared to previous years. These kids, often fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries, were once given some protections.

This change highlights the broader implications for U.S. immigration policy and the humanitarian crisis it could exacerbate, affecting vulnerable minors who rely on the country for safety and support.
