World Press Photo 2026, 'Separated by ICE' wins Photo of the Year
Carol Guzy's photograph "Separated by ICE," showing the daughters of Ecuadorian migrant Luis clinging to him as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detain him after an immigration hearing in New York City, won World Press Photo of the Year 2026. Guzy captured the moment outside a New York immigration court as officers placed Luis in handcuffs and led him away. World Press Photo's executive director said the image illustrates the inconsolable grief of children losing their father and serves as a stark record of family separation under U.S. immigration enforcement.

“They're caught in the crossfire of President Trump's mass deportation effort, which has been very controversial.” Controversial? No. It’s cruel and it’s unforgivable that this is what my country has become. If the people they are picking up have criminal records that would be understandable but
Did you see those "I Did This" Trump stickers for gas pumps? This photo deserves similar treatment as a billboard.
