World Press Photo of the Year goes to a PHOTO of a migrant family forcibly separated in the USA

The laureates of the annual World Press Photo award have been announced. The Photo of the Year is an image of mass deportation of migrants from the USA.

The photograph "Separated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement" by American photographer Carol Guzy has been recognized as the Photo of the Year by the non-profit organization World Press Photo.

The organizing committee of the eponymous photo contest announced this decision on Thursday, April 23. The work is part of the series "US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Arrests at New York City Court" for the daily newspaper Miami Herald, writes Deutsche Welle.

Guzy captured the moment when law enforcement officials led Luis, a migrant from Ecuador, away from his family after a court hearing on illegal immigration.

This episode is "not an isolated incident, but a policy indiscriminately applied to people who have appeared in good faith for court hearings," the contest organizing committee emphasized. In a democratic society, the presence of cameras in court corridors is "an important witness to policies that have turned court buildings into places where people's lives are destroyed," World Press Photo noted.

In 2025, protests were held in several US cities against the strengthening of President Donald Trump's administration's immigration policy and the course towards mass deportations of migrants.

"This award highlights the immense importance of this story globally. We have witnessed the suffering of countless families, but also witnessed their dignity and resilience that allows them to overcome hardships. <…> Undoubtedly, this award belongs to them, not to me," Guzy commented, speaking about the jury's choice.

    люди нарушили законодательство страны, нелегально проникнув, и их нужно наградить за то, что они "добросовестно явились на судебные слушания», дать вид на жительство/гражданство, пособия на всю многочисленную родню?
