This is real and well-documented — the Trump administration has indeed resumed family detention at scale, particularly at the Dilley facility in Texas. The New Yorker investigation includes specific cases of medical neglect (like an 18-month-old sent back to detention after nearly dying from respiratory failure) and is corroborated by a Human Rights First/RAICES report released April 1st detailing family separations and due-process violations. The framing emphasizes moral harm and systemic targeting of children, which is supported by the evidence — Trump did rescind Biden-era protections that designated child-gathering places as off-limits for ICE operations. The article doesn't shy away from DHS denials but the documented accounts from legal advocates and independent monitoring groups are substantial.
