Carol Guzy won the World Press Photo competition for 2025 with her image "Separated by ICE," taken for the Miami Herald. The photograph depicts children clinging to their father's shirt during a court hearing in New York, after he was unexpectedly detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The jury selected the image from nearly 57,000 entries by about 3,700 photographers. Two other finalists were recognized: Saber Nuraldin for documenting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Victor J. Blue for covering the trial of perpetrators who kidnapped and abused women during Guatemala's civil war.
The award underscores the power of photojournalism to expose the human consequences of immigration policy. The winning image highlights the emotional toll of family separation under U.S. enforcement actions, prompting broader debate about justice and border control. The exhibition of all winning photographs will tour more than 60 locations, starting in Amsterdam on April 24 and later appearing at the Landesmuseum in Zurich from May 7 to June 7, bringing these stories to a global audience.
