"ICE has stepped up its work in pursuing undocumented immigrant children, contracting a third party to locate those previously released from government custody under the guise of safety checks."
"Internal documents indicate that ICE's operations aim to deport children or pursue criminal cases against their adult sponsors, contradicting the agency's public safety narrative."
"Critics have described ICE's actions as backdoor family separation, raising ethical concerns about the treatment of vulnerable immigrant children."
"A DHS spokesperson refuted claims that ICE targets children, asserting that parents are consulted about their children's care during potential deportation."
ICE has awarded a contract to MVM Inc. to assist in tracking undocumented immigrant children who arrived alone in the US. The agency claims these operations are safety checks to confirm children's locations and wellness. However, internal documents suggest the true aim is to deport these children or pursue legal action against their sponsors. Critics label this as backdoor family separation. Despite accusations of targeting children, a DHS spokesperson denies these claims, stating that parents are given options regarding their children's care during deportation processes.
