People under the age of 18 have often been held with their families in what detained families and their advocates have called harmful conditions, including poor medical care, inadequate access to education and inedible food.

“Every American should be shocked that we're incarcerating thousands of children,” Leecia Welch, chief legal counsel at Children's Rights, an organization providing legal support for children in detention, said. “It just adds up to an incredible amount of trauma.”

U.S. immigration authorities have long held children in detention, but to varying degrees across administrations. President Joe Biden ended family detention in 2021 and, by the final year of his presidency, ICE was holding a daily average of 24 children in custody.

But after Trump revived the policy last year, the number jumped tenfold, to 226 children incarcerated on the average day since he came back into office.

This updated data was obtained from ICE by the Deportation Data Project, a group of academics and lawyers who collect federal immigration data through public records requests and share it with the public.
