More Than 100,000 American Kids Had a Parent Detained in Immigration Sweeps, Report Estimates

A new Brookings report estimates that over 100,000 American children have had a parent detained since Trump's mass deportation campaign began. The analysis uses census data and cites ProPublica reporting.

- The report estimates roughly 200,000 children, including 145,000 U.S. citizen kids, have had a parent detained.

- ProPublica found at least 11,000 American children affected in the first seven months of Trump's second term, likely an undercount. - Family separations are now more dispersed and hidden, unlike the border policy of Trump's first term.

- DHS says it does not separate families, but guidelines have changed, removing 'humane' language. The findings highlight the need for transparency and data on the well-being of children separated from detained parents.
