How many of these kids will end up on the street, in danger, victims of predators and ped0ph!les? Too many! 😡 Lost in the foster care system already overburdened and understaffed these kids are being robbed of their chance at any kind of life.
They were asleep when the men came.
Six-year-old Febe and nine-year-old Angelo Perez, both American citizens, woke to find strangers in tactical vests taking their mother away.
Their father had died years ago. Their mother, Kenia Perez, worked nights at a hospital in Texas and never missed a check-in with immigration authorities. She paid taxes. She had a valid work permit.
None of it mattered.
This is the new family-separation crisis, quieter than the cages at the border, but just as cruel.
Under Trump’s revived immigration crackdown, federal agents are again ripping parents from their children, not at detention camps this time, but inside American homes, schools, and workplaces.
CNN found more than a hundred verified cases of citizen children left behind after raids, their parents deported within days.
Toddlers placed in foster care. Teenagers forced to raise their younger siblings.
Families scattered across borders with no record kept and no plan to reunite them.
ICE insists parents “choose” these outcomes, that deportation is a consequence of their own “law-breaking.”
But records and witness accounts show a very different picture: parents detained without time to find guardians, deported before securing passports for their U.S.-citizen kids, and agents ignoring what little remains of the “humane enforcement” policy scrapped in Trump’s second term.
He calls it deterrence.
It looks like punishment inflicted on children.
In California, a babysitter showed up to a farm with two babies in her arms. Their parents never came home.
In Michigan, a college-bound teenager abandoned her plans to care for three younger siblings after their father was taken.
And in Oregon, four kids now call their friend’s house “Camp Reindeer,” the place they’ve been staying since ICE detained both parents in June.
They ask the same question every night:
“Are Mom and Dad not coming home?”
This is not border security. It’s a policy of fear that treats kids as collateral.
Trump promised to “restore law and order.”
Instead, he’s normalizing a system where American children grow up with nightmares of the door breaking down, and no one left to tuck them back in.
