Last year, when a judge ordered the Trump Administration to improve conditions at the immigration center at the Jacob K Javits Federal Building in New York City, the images used to show the “deplorable” conditions were taken from security camera footage. But even as photojournalists were limited to public hallways, one longtime photojournalist captured an emotional image that represents the reality of US immigration policies.
Separated by ICE, a photograph depicting children clinging to their father after an immigration hearing, taken by photojournalist Carol Guzy with ZUMA Press, iWitness and the Miami Herald, has been selected as the Photo of the Year by the World Press Photo.
