They endured child separation and received legal status. Now ICE is trying to deport them.
Federal officials have detained or deported at least 25 people whose families were granted temporary legal status under a court settlement.



The 23-year-old Honduran man was legally living and working in the U.S. and had the documents to prove it.

The U.S. government had allowed him to enter the country as part of a legal settlement for families who suffered under the first Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that separated children from their parents at the border. Yet he’s spent the past five months locked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana, facing deportation. 
He’s one of at least 25 people ICE has detained or deported in recent months despite their having legal status and protections granted by the child separation settlement, court records show.

Beginning in 2017, thousands of immigrant children were traumatically separated from their parents at the border without cause. It was one of the first Trump administration’s most controversial actions, a policy that a federal judge later said caused “lasting, excruciating harm.” The American Civil Liberties Union filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of the families, which the government settled in 2023, offering them legal status in the U.S., with pathways for residency, asylum and authorization to work.  

Now, in President Donald Trump’s second term, the U.S. government has betrayed key terms of the deal. People who were supposed to be protected by the federal court settlement have been detained and deported, records show. The Department of Homeland Security informed families they suddenly had to pay a $1,000 fee per person to enter or to remain in the country. And the government stopped paying contractors it had hired to reunite families, and assist with job placement and legal paperwork.

1. How much lower can he go?

He's already able to limbo under an earthworm.

I remember those news clips that brought tears.... Many of those children have never been recovered by their parents.
