A security guard sheds tears in a moment of tender humanity while witnessing the heartbreak of Grace, a distraught migrant mother and her children from Ecuador after her husband was detained by ICE as they left his immigration court hearing at the Jacob Javits Federal Building in New York NY on August 20, 2025. The family was inconsolable with despair. “Please help me, please help me. Take me too.” she wept as he was led away. Security guards are tangled in the middle of ICE, respondents, observers, activists and press as courthouse dynamics play out in this new normal in America. Sometimes it’s the quiet moments that resonate most profoundly in the collective conscience of a nation.

Court observers and relatives argue after ICE detained Carlos Javier Lopez Benitez from Paraguay after his immigration court hearing at the Jacob Javits Federal Building in New York NY on July 16, 2025.

Masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in balaclavas detain asylum-seekers after immigration court hearings at the Jacob Javits Federal Building during US President Donald Trump’s controversial mass deportation effort resulting in traumatized children caught in the crossfire, broken families, and a fearful immigrant community in New York NY on July 16, 2025. (June-December 2025) Federal agents from various organizations like Customs & Border Patrol, ATF, DSS, IRS, etc. rotate in monthly to assist ICE. Most agents say the masks save them from doxing and protect their families from animosity towards them in society. Critics believe masks are intimidating and further traumatize children witnessing detainments of their parents, and that they should be required to show their identity and be held accountable the same as police officers. Legal efforts to unmask them are ongoing. Migrants line up in the lobby of the Jacob Javits Federal building near a wall bearing a portrait of President Trump and the Preamble to the US Constitution. Agents stand outside courtrooms with papers bearing photos of their ‘target’. After an arduous journey seeking asylum and the American dream, some react with anguish and tears, others walk quietly on their final steps to a new destiny. There are emotional family separations. Distraught girls desperately grab their father Luis, futilely holding on. His wife Cocha and their three children, ages 7, 13 and 15 were inconsolable. ‘It was very traumatic for me and my children,’ she said. ‘They took their father away.’ They say he has no criminal record and will struggle without the breadwinner of the family. 'I want the government to be a little more human,' she stated. ‘Take me, not him – they will kill him!’ screamed Monica, a distraught woman from Ecuador as the family was pulled away from her husband Ruben. She was violently thrown to the floor as her children wept and taken to a nearby hospital to be examined for head injury. The officer was relieved of duties pending investigation, and then quickly reinstated. Her daughter Rosa, 12 years old, still suffers with nightmares and felt guilty that she couldn’t pull her father away from the ICE agents that fateful day. She apologized, ‘Mom, forgive me because I couldn’t hug my dad well. If I had hugged him well, they wouldn’t have taken him.’ They are seeking a therapist to help her heal. A woman is led in shackles on the 10th floor where migrants are held in detention. There is now a legal injunction requiring ICE to comply with humane conditions. Father Fabian Arias with Saint Peter’s Church leads a weekly Jericho prayer walk in protest around the courthouse. He regularly escorts frightened families to their hearings and his church is an epicenter of assistance, offering legal aid, solace and prayer to a fractured community. In a tender moment of humanity, security guard Asael Jules also sheds tears viewing the sorrow of Grace, a migrant mother and child, lost in despair. Sometimes it is the quiet moments that resonate most profoundly in the collective conscience of a nation. There is a vast political divide. Some protest, decrying a lack of due process and a slippery slide into fascism. Others applaud. And daily, detentions continue…

Migrants line up in the lobby of the Jacob Javits Federal building near a wall bearing a portrait of US President Donald Trump and the Preamble to the US Constitution as ICE agents and federal officers detain migrants after their immigration court hearings during this administration’s controversial reform policies amid a mass deportation effort in New York NY on August 5, 2025. Reports show a majority of detainees have no real criminal record. They are not the ‘worst of the worst’ as the Trump administration alleges.

Anguished young girls cling to their father Luis, a migrant from Ecuador, as he is detained by ICE after his immigration court hearing at the Jacob Javits Federal Building in New York NY on August 26, 2025. Traumatized children are caught in the crossfire of US President Donald Trump’s controversial mass deportation effort resulting in painful family separations. His wife Cocha and their three children, ages 7, 13 and 15 were inconsolable with despair. ‘It was very traumatic for me and my children,’ she said. ‘They took their father away.’ They live in the Bronx and will struggle without the breadwinner of the family. They insist he has no criminal record. 'I want the government to be a little more human,' she stated. After an arduous journey seeking asylum and the American dream, some react with terror and tears, others walk quietly on their final steps to a new destiny.

Rosa, 12 years old, from Ecuador is wrenched away from her father Ruben as he was detained by ICE after his immigration court hearing at the Jacob Javits Federal Building during US President Donald Trump’s controversial mass deportation effort in New York NY on September 25, 2025. Her mother Monica was violently thrown to the floor by an ICE officer as her children wept. Since then, Rosa suffered disturbing memories and nightmares. She felt guilty that she couldn’t pull her father away from the ICE agents that fateful day. She apologized saying, ‘Mom, forgive me because I couldn’t hug my dad well. If I had hugged him well, they wouldn’t have taken him.’ They are seeking a therapist to help her heal.

Participants of the civil-defense training, organised by a far-right political organization National Corps and held on the grounds of an abandoned heavy machinery factory on Kyiv’s western outskirts, train with wooden makeshift weapon in Kyiv, Ukraine on February 6, 2022. In the months leading up to the full-scale invasion, civil-defense trainings became more widespread in Kyiv and in other major Ukrainian cities, some of which organised by formal institutions like the Territorial Defense Forces, that is a reservist force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As part of the training, citizens learn the skills in handling weapons, tactical medicine, acting in groups and interacting with military units. They say on their website that the main goal of the organization is to prepare a new citizen ready to defend its country and that their training would be useful for citizens who have to take up arms and resist the occupiers.

Reservists of the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces (mostly from the 130th battalion and a few from other units) participate in the counterinsurgency military exercise on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine on December 4, 2021.

sliding sideways, until the launcher starts to disappear inside its own work.
