The Trump administration's renewed immigration policies have shifted strategies regarding minor migrants, emphasizing enforcement over safety. Family separations, although less visible, have transformed into bureaucratic measures that extend detention and complicate asylum processes. The government is undermining established protections created after tragic incidents involving minors in ICE custody. These changes include maintaining minors in detention for extended durations, charging asylum applicants, and creating barriers for family members seeking to aid minors. The focus is now on legalistic adjustments rather than the safety-oriented system previously established to protect vulnerable children.
The Trump administration's second term has focused on dismantling protections for minors, moving them away from safety systems toward stricter immigration enforcement measures.
Historically, minors were guided towards a system emphasizing their safety, created in response to children dying in ICE custody, but this focus is now diminishing.
