Children in ICE Detention Skyrocket in Trump’s Second Term With a six-fold jump in children in detention, advocates allege harrowing conditions are putting kids’ lives at risk.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

New analysis shows at least 3,800 children and infants have been booked into ICE detention since Trump took office. At least 1,300 were detained 20 days or more, the court limit for how long children with families can be held: www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

Hello, Hive Mind! Can you share advice on finding job opportunities using AI, NLP and LLMs for social good? Some topics that appeal are identifying and countering misinformation, democratizing knowledge access and addressing systemic bias. Salary is much less important than the focus of the work!

I'm finding Clue And Reasoning Prompting (CARP) (arxiv.org/pdf/2305.08377) surprisingly effective for curating labeled data for training relation extraction models.
