The Trump administration's aggressive crackdown on immigration has had broader effects across parts of the U.S. population. Originally aimed at targeting "the worst of the worst," immigration enforcement officials have at times arrested individuals with no criminal record, with some detentions being challenged in courts nationwide.
The crackdown has also affected children, whether as direct targets of enforcement operations or as witnesses to the arrest of parents or family members, such as in the case of Liam Conejo Ramos.
