US immigration agents detained a two-year-old girl and her father in Minneapolis on Thursday, sparking legal action and criticism. Elvis Joel TE and his daughter were detained without a warrant while returning home, despite the mother being present. A federal judge ordered the girl's release, but ICE officials instead transported both to a Texas detention center. Lawyers filed an emergency petition, and the pair were subsequently flown back to Minnesota. The girl was released to her mother, while the father remains detained. The incident occurred shortly after a similar detention of a five-year-old in Minnesota, raising concerns about ICE's practices in the region.
