US Child Migrant Agency Leads to Over 12,000 ICE Arrests Since 2017
An investigation revealed that since President Trump's second term began, the US Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has shared over 460,000 leads with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to more than 12,000 arrests. This policy shift has resulted in migrant parents, sponsors, and household members being detained after seeking reunification with unaccompanied children. Historically, ORR's care for these children was separate from immigration enforcement, but recent changes have blurred this separation, affecting family reunifications.
