Fear and broken families: Inside a Texas ICE detention centre

Since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, more than 610,000 people have passed through US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centres, with nearly 51,000 arrests in August 2026 alone — a record for his second term. France 24 reporters Valérie Defert and Pierrick Leurent spent weeks in Texas, home to much of the detention system, including Dilley near San Antonio, where the country's largest family detention centre holds up to 2,400 parents and children; ICE bars journalists from entering the facility.
