The U.S. has been sending separated children back to Venezuela, following negotiations between both governments. A few children are flown back each week, in deportation flights with adults. But each week, more parents are also separated in the US as arrests here escalate.
031
Luis Ferré-Sadurní @luisferre7.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
ICE says it doesn't separate families, and offers parents the choice to be deported w/ children. But since ICE is subjecting migrants to mandatory detention, it is dealing with a growing number of children split up from parents in detention or being deported.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní @luisferre7.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
Others said they were never given a choice, or were pressured/given misleading guidance by ICE. Parents landed in ICE custody after being arrested by ICE or Border Patrol. But many were transferred to ICE by local police in red states after traffic violations, etc.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní @luisferre7.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
Many parents we spoke to said that they were given a choice by ICE to deport w/ their children. But many said they were told they would have to wait for months in detention if so. Many ultimately chose to leave w/o children, hoping to facilitate their return from Venezuela.

It's unclear how many immigrants like Alejandro are "erroneously removed" by ICE, because the agency hasn't tracked such cases in the past. Critics warn that the missteps in his case could foreshadow the types of mistakes that could become more frequent as detentions ramp up.

Alejandro worked for many years at a Trump Golf Club, was married, and had four children who are US citizens, including a son in the Marines. In a rare acknowledgement, ICE admitted it had mistakenly expelled him without seeing a judge.
