A Texas mother and her children were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shortly after leaving a courthouse, where they had appeared for a routine legal matter. The family, who had no prior criminal record, was reportedly followed and apprehended in what advocates call a targeted enforcement action.
The mother has since filed a lawsuit against ICE, arguing that the detention was unlawful and traumatizing. One of the children is battling leukemia, raising serious humanitarian and medical concerns about their treatment in custody. Immigration rights groups have condemned the incident, warning that such actions deter undocumented individuals from seeking help through the legal system. The case has ignited outrage across the country, with renewed calls for ICE to reform its enforcement policies near sensitive locations like courthouses.
