Abstract	Interior immigration enforcement continues to have a significant impact on children in mixed-status families. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between the detention and deportation of parents-- including the threat of these actions--and negative outcomes for children and their families. These include developmental concerns, housing instability, educational setbacks, poor physical and mental health, and economic insecurity. While there have been overall decreases in arrests and detention numbers since 2009, funding for enforcement continues to grow. Moreover, despite reforms at the local, state, and administrative levels over the years, the interior enforcement policies that cause harm to children in immigrant families remain in place, and well-intentioned policies aimed at mitigating the harm are often stalled by federal courts or face implementation challenges. This brief presents key data on immigration enforcement and its impact on the nation's children, and it proposes action steps for the federal government as well as state and local policymakers. Building upon findings in the 2018 CLASP "Our Children's Fear" (ED582818) and the 2019 UnidosUS "Beyond the Border" (ED603926) reports, this brief focuses on interior immigration enforcement--policies carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the interior of the United States--not on enforcement policies at the country's border.
