CA Children Caught Up by ICE

President Donald Trump has delivered on a key campaign promise to ramp up immigration enforcement. Following his first year in office, the non profit American Immigration Council has found the number of people in detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has increased by 75 percent. And the number of “at-large” arrests, ones that occur inside the community, as opposed to the border, are up by 600 percent. According to a new analysis of the data by EdSource, a non-profit news organization that focuses on education in California, those increases can also be seen in the arrest and detention of minors in the state. Here to guide us through the data and the impact these detentions are having on children and their communities are EdSource reporters Zaidee Stavely and Emma Gallegos. You can also listen to their recent reporting on the EdSource podcast Education Beat.
