I think the truth is somewhere between all the stories and it's likely children have been taken into care as a matter of course in many illegal immigration cases under different administration's and probably in countries apart from the US.

When adults are arrested they don't usually take their kids to jail with them and if there isn't another adult there to take care of them they probably go into the care of the social services in this country too. Children's homes in the UK aren't fairytale castles with free all you can eat cake and Pepsi either.

It's appalling to see children in those conditions. Are others kept like that and worse, you bet. This all kind of feels like throwing stones at glass houses.

Then we should have a look at all the small children on the streets of India who don't have anyone, where there is a lack of social care at all and it's left to charities to try to pick up the pieces on threadbare budgets. Oh I forgot, we can look away because we can't blame Trump for that one.
