In several cases, officials have retaliated against immigrants who challenged deportation orders by separating them from their children, a Guardian investigation found.

The officials misclassified the children as “unaccompanied minors” before placing them in government-run shelters or foster care.

In April, the Trump admin deported “Rosario” & her two US citizen children, one of whom is being treated for stage 4 kidney cancer.

The case drew national and international attention. Rosario shares her story for the first time with @theguardian.com - another chapter in our Ice Air investigation:

Family separation 2.0 is here.

Officials retaliated against immigrants who challenged deportation by forcibly separating them from their kids. They classified the children as “unaccompanied minors” before placing them in government-run shelters or foster care.

Those are emojis the FBI, NYPD, CBP and US Army have said could be signs of affiliation with the Tren de Aragua gang + part of their “code language”, internal records show.

“Just like tattoos, we could see folks rounded up + tortured based solely on their use of certain emojis”
Revealed: US law enforcement claimed emojis could signal Tren de Aragua affiliation
Claims are ‘an unsophisticated, uneducated approach that demonstrates a lack of knowledge’, says one professor

For immigrants in the system, these chaotic transfers can feel like a punishment, Faisal Al-Juburi of @raicestexas.bsky.social

“You end up in a continuous state of unknown for an indefinite period of time,” he said. “Families are being put into a purgatorial state.”

GlobalX carried out more than 1,700 flights for Ice, the vast majority of them between domestic US airports. For many immigrants, the flight paths were long, with multiple legs and layovers. Nearly 3,600 people were moved around repeatedly, forced to board five or more GlobalX flights.

“They have no legal basis for why they detained her or why they’re holding her or why they’re trying to deport her,” said her spouse, Desiree Miller.
