Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration has detained nearly half-a-million immigrants in the U.S., according to a new report. That new research from the Brookings Institution finds that, by detaining 400,000 immigrants over the past 14 months, the Trump administration also stripped about 145,000 American children of at least one parent. Data from the Department of Homeland Security calculates a much smaller number — 60,000. But the number of children they leave behind and what happens to them, most of whom are U.S. citizens, is largely unknown. White House correspondent Liz Landers (Liz Landers) discussed more with Tara Watson from Brookings.

Host: Is the death of US citizens a price the Trump administration is willing to pay to carry out its immigration policies? Trump's Deputy AG: Well, what does that have to do with whether it was a US citizen or not? Host: Two of the people killed were US citizens. Is this part of the collateral damage, something that the administration is willing to accept as a part of its crackdown on people who are here illegally?

The crackdown in Minnesota and the deadly shootings of two U.S. citizens are raising questions about the tactics used by federal immigration agents. "This is a group of people, the Border Patrol in particular, who are completely untrained and unskilled for policing an urban environment," former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske tells amna.

The Trump administration has fired more than 100 immigration judges as it moves to reshape the court system that polices deportations. Immigration courts are overseen by the Department of Justice itself. That means judges are required to answer to the administration whose policies they're ruling on. Watch Ali Rogin's interview with Holly D'Andrea, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

Some American citizens have been detained and questioned as part of the Trump administration's ICE raids in Rep. Gabe Vasquez's (D-NM) district, he says, calling the raids a "very haphazard approach" to the immigration issue. "They're more interested in this reality TV game of mass deportation, rather than actually coming through with a strategic plan to root out some of the criminals that are on our streets."
