Obviously this is a terrible situation and a real tragedy for this family in any time period.
But given the climate of ICE/DHS snatching random people off the streets and into their secretive prison network people are VERY on edge about any sort of missing persons rn in minority communities.
The possibility that these kids could have been kidnapped or harmed by someone pretending to be an ICE/DHS agents also I think caused this case to have quite a lot of interest.

“The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.
Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.”
