Mother and child held in notorious Rio Grande Valley detention centre despite presenting visa, family says
A Canadian mother and her seven-year-old daughter, who has autism, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas since Saturday, family members have said.
Relatives of Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas say they were detained unlawfully. They are uncertain about what problem ICE found with their immigration paperwork.
Tania Warner and her daughter are both Canadians, with Warner originally from British Columbia. The Canadian broadcaster CTV News reported that they are being held at the notorious Rio Grande Valley Central processing centre in McAllen, Texas.
Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.
And you’ve decided that’s unfair. Good thing she has white knights like you. She’ll be safe. Unlike all the brown people.
You’ve decided the victim in this story deserves blame with zero evidence and I’m calling you out for it. That’s it.
She’s a victim the same way “all the brown people” are and we shouldn’t be blaming them. We should be pushing back against the fascist government committing these acts.
