Under Trump, deportations of once-protected immigrant kids have tripled

The Trump administration significantly ramped up deportations of immigrant children who were once shielded from removal, with numbers tripling compared to previous years. Elder Chavez, an 18-year-old detainee, highlights the human toll of these policies as he struggles with the harsh conditions of detention centers. This shift reflects a broader change in immigration enforcement under the Trump presidency, raising concerns about the treatment and protection of vulnerable populations. Such changes have profound implications for both the individuals affected and the broader debate over U.S. immigration policy.
