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.

    ~100k usd annually.

    Not sure what you’re representing, here. Income? Is that how the dow is 50-thousand?

    You’re from somewhere worse.

    Is that ad-hominem or are you suggesting a motivation for moving to America? Because moving from “someplace worse” is actually the reason everyone moves; for varying criteria but that’s the reason.

    You couldn’t get into NZ, etc…

    Again, not sure whether this is stating motivation; is that the intent?

    Hyperbolic 20 years

    This is an odd thing to point out.

    lol

    Ah! You were a pre-teen back then. I get it now.
