ICE Detention of Babies and Toddlers Reached Record Levels Under Trump

More babies are behind bars in America than ever before, and it's all thanks to President Donald Trump.

The number of babies and toddlers in ICE custody has skyrocketed since Trump took office last year, according to a new report by MS NOW and The Marshall Project.

The report, which analyzed records obtained by the Deportation Data Project, found that the agency has considerably upped its detentions of children aged 3 and under during Trump 2.0.

On a typical day, the analysis concluded that ICE held an average of 25 babies and toddlers in custody between January 2025 and March 2026—totaling at least 500 young children since Trump took office.

put my finger on it. Pretty consistent throughout his alleged personal past and both presidential terms to date it seems.

I'm sure someone much smarter than I will figure it out.
