On MSNBC it was suggested that showing the girls might bring more sympathy

But that by showing only boys - teens and younger - it plays into Trump's fear campaign of MS-13, gangs! gangs! gangs! have to keep all those little brown boys from coming into the country and joining MS-13!

I think that might be right.

And repeatedly seeing little boys crying doesn't exactly inspire fear of gangs.

Well, maybe in Trump followers.

They are using children's well-being and their very lives as political pawns. This is happening in the United States. This is so sick and so wrong.
