ICE's Youngest Prisoner [View all]

It was approaching midnight on Monday in Dilley, Texas, and a two-month-old boy named Juan Nicolás required immediate medical attention because he couldn’t breathe, and the doctor wasn’t there.

His mother — a woman who had crossed whatever desert and river and checkpoint stood between her child and a life — screamed for help the way only a mother can scream. And what came back was a shrug dressed in official language. No physician on site at this hour. Nothing to be done.

This is the United States of America in 2026.
