This has happened to UK parents and UK kids. I don't believe it has to Irish citizens, yet. The UK citizens were extensively reported in UK newspapers. After several days detention , they were released without being charged,

Tourism to the US is way down. You may put this down to bad publicity in foreign countries, but it is real. How much is down to ICE, who will not hassle me, according to your narrative, and how much down to foreign press? Only time will tell.
