ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump

ICE has dramatically increased detentions of children aged 3 and under, holding 25 of them in custody on an average day between January 2025 and March of this year, according to a new analysis by The Marshall Project and MS NOW of records obtained by the Deportation Data Project, a group of academics and lawyers who collect and share federal immigration data. That number is 10 times higher than it was in the previous 12 months under former President Joe Biden. Back then, on an average day, fewer than three babies and toddlers were held at facilities across the country.

I mean obviously 25 is much worse than 3 - but like still why was the Biden admin holding up to 3 babies in custody every day? I guess my point is to remind folk that the lesser evil is still evil..

or to ask this a different way - why was Biden justified in keeping 3 babies in jail every day?
