Canadian Mother and Autistic Daughter Detained by ICE Despite Legal Status
A Canadian mother, Tania Warner, and her 7-year-old autistic daughter, Ayla, were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas for nearly three weeks, despite having legal documentation to remain in the United States. They were detained at an immigration checkpoint in Sarita, Texas, on March 14 and released on bond on April 3. Warner expressed fear of being detained again, despite her legal right to live and work in the U.S. She reported poor conditions at the Dilley Detention Center, where they were held, and criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maintains that work authorization does not equate to legal status.
