Oregon Family Released from Texas Detention After Hospital Parking Lot Arrest
A family detained by federal agents in a Portland hospital parking lot has been released from immigration detention in Texas. U.S. Representative Maxine Dexter, a Democrat from Oregon, announced that she is escorting the Crespo-González family back to Portland. The family, consisting of Darianny Liseth González de Crespo, her husband Yohendry de Jesús Crespo, and their 7-year-old daughter Diana, was detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents on January 16 while seeking medical attention for their daughter. They were held at the South Texas Family Residential Center for nearly a month. Dexter, who represents Oregon's 3rd Congressional District, visited the detention facility and secured their release, citing legal protections for immigrant children under the 1997 Flores Agreement, which limits detention to 20 days.
