Trump has ordered the deportation of unaccompanied migrant children
The administration of US President Donald Trump is instructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to search for and deport migrant children who crossed the border unaccompanied by their parents. This was reported by Reuters on Sunday, February 23, citing a memo.
The document outlines four stages of implementing the order, starting with the planning stage on January 27, but does not specify a start date for searches and deportations.
More than 600,000 immigrant children have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border unaccompanied by parents or legal guardians since 2019, according to government data.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not respond to Reuters' request for comment on the memo and the Trump administration's plans.
The day before, on February 22, the U.S. leader announced a solution to the problem of illegal migration in the country. He also said that he provided the United States with the best borders in history. According to him, the administration of the state conducted the largest operation to deport illegals for the entire existence of the United States.
On January 20, immediately after his inauguration, Trump signed more than 200 new executive orders. Among them, the introduction of a state of emergency on the border with Mexico. In addition, the American president has repeatedly stated that he is going to cancel the granting of American citizenship by birthright.
