Une fillette de 2 ans arrêtée par l’ICE après une nouvelle opération controversée au Minnesota
An Ecuadorian father was arrested and transported to a detention center in Texas accompanied by his 2-year-old daughter.
She obviously had "no prior criminal record." A two-year-old girl was temporarily detained by US immigration services, two days after the controversy surrounding the same case involving a five-year-old boy.
According to the family's lawyers, citing court documents, the little girl was apprehended in Minnesota along with her father, Elvis Joel TE, who is of Ecuadorian origin. The two were arrested around 1 p.m. on Thursday as they were returning from shopping.
A "targeted control operation"
One of the officers at the scene reportedly smashed the window of the father's car while the little girl was inside, before arresting them and putting them in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle. "The horror is truly unimaginable," Irina Vaynerman told The Guardian. "The depravity of it all is beyond words."
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained that the Border Patrol was conducting a "targeted screening operation" against an "illegal immigrant," claiming he had entered the United States illegally and was "driving dangerously with a child in the vehicle." The statement also indicated that DHS had taken custody of "a child whose mother refused to take him."

Detained in a Texas detention center despite a federal judge's release order, the father and daughter were able to return to Minnesota late Friday afternoon. The father was remanded in custody, while the girl was placed in her mother's custody.
This case comes just 48 hours after the controversy surrounding the arrest of Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old boy, on his way home from school.
