Shortly after giving birth at an Arizona doctor, a Guatemalan woman was taken into ICE captivity by CBP officials there. Before ICE officials spotted her and took her into prison, Erika, as her counsel have it, was alone for two days wandering in the Arizona plain. According to a CBP director, she had entered the US from Mexico.
Federal officials were stationed outside of her hospital room on Wednesday nights, giving birth to Erika at Tucson Medical Center, two weeks after her arrest.
Erika’s counsel claimed that he was not denied access to the hospital and that he was not given the opportunity to speak with her for weeks. According to Campos,” There was no respect for expected process.”
Campos claimed that his client is seeking prison in the US because she fears returning to Guatemalan crime.
No rights were violated, and the child still lives with the mom.
The homeland security department claimed that boundary agents actually saved the eight-month-pregnant Erika who had illegally crossed the border despite her attorney’s claim that she was subjected to cruel treatment. She was taken to a hospital for treatment and persisted under control until she was free. She had the option to get in touch with an counsel once a Notice to Appear was issued. CBP adhered to all laws and regulations. No rights were violated. Since then, prison has been transferred to ICE, and she is now awaiting a court time. The mother and the child continue to live with them,” Homeland Security said.
Erika was freed from ICE prison because she is currently undergoing imprisonment proceedings. According to immigration officers, Erika may decide whether to bring her kitten with her to Guatemela. Parents are asked if they want to leave their children with them, or CBP may assign them to a person the family defines. A CBP spokesperson told CNN that DHS takes its responsibility to protect children critically and will work with federal law enforcement to make sure that kids are safe and protected.
