ICE detains 5-year-old and father in Minnesota, lawyer says
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly detained a 5-year-old child and his father in Minnesota, according to their lawyer. The lawyer, Sarah Miller, stated that the father and son, who are from Honduras, were taken into custody during a routine check-in with immigration officials on Friday morning in Minneapolis.
Miller expressed concern about the well-being of the child, highlighting the potential traumatic impact that detention could have on such a young child. She indicated that they were exploring legal avenues to secure their release.
ICE, on the other hand, has not issued a public statement regarding this specific case. However, the agency has previously stated that individuals who are in violation of immigration laws may be subject to arrest and detention.
The incident has raised questions and concerns about the policies and practices of ICE when it comes to detaining minors and their families. Advocacy groups have long criticized the treatment of immigrant families in detention centers, citing issues such as inadequate access to healthcare and legal support.
The father and son’s current situation and future remain uncertain as their case unfolds in the immigration system.
