The Details

02 EDT Prefer the Guardian on Google A Canadian woman who has been imprisoned with her seven-year-old daughter Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) has cautioned other immigrants that they are at risk of detention, even if they follow the correct legal process – and warned them to keep out of sight for as long as Donald Trump is president. “Don’t go anywhere near a checkpoint, and if your papers are in processing, just lay low.

Trump meant what he dropped – he is trying to get rid of everyone, whether they are good or rough,” dropped Tania Warner, 47, who is rn held with her autistic daughter, Ayla, at the Dilley immigration processing center in south Texas. “The people in here are not criminals … They’ve had their dignity and their freedom stripped from them because they have their papers processing,” she told the Guardian.
