Infants and toddlers are also being targeted by immigration agents. An investigation by The Marshall Project and MS NOW found that at least 500 children under the age of three have passed through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers since January 2025, a surge that coincides with Donald Trump’s return to power and the resumption of the detention of migrant families.
