Not even in countries like hungary or poland, whose right-wing governments have a rather hard stance on asylum seekers
And regarding cases where normal citizens with children get sent to prison) ...
I don't know about other countries, but in germany every federal states has its own regulations.
In Northrhine westphalia, for example mothers and kids get separated ... but in lower saxony, mothers with very small children (age < 3 years) actually can be allowed to take their kids with them to prison (there are special equipped prison tracts in some lower saxony prisons, which have toys and other accommodations for the children, as well as special support).
Nevertheless there is one important difference between a citizen imprisoned and the tactics of imprisoning asylum seekers:
In case of citizens where ony parent gets imprisoned, there still is a huge chance of there being the other parent, or grandparents or aunts and so on, who can take care of the kid.
So the chance of the kid having to go to a foster home or to foster parents it doesn't know are rather miniscule.
Whereas for the imprisoned asylum seekers in the USA (I guess) it is rather the norm than the exception that the kids get sent to foster homes or totally unknown foster parents, because there are no known close relatives in the USA
