Overview
- Raw Story, citing new CNN reporting, says more than 100 children have been stranded after parents were deported during recent enforcement operations.
- CNN’s report alleges ICE has at times disregarded safeguards meant to let undocumented parents designate a caregiver or plan travel for their children.
- ICE disputes the reporting and says it “goes out of its way” to allow parents to name guardians or have children accompany them, blaming parents’ legal violations for the consequences.
- The coverage describes arrests at homes, workplaces and school drop‑off sites under an aggressive push that Raw Story says includes a 3,000‑a‑day arrest target and has included several reported deaths.
- California lawmakers have advanced a bill to simplify guardian designations for children left behind, with Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez saying it awaits the governor’s signature.
