A Canadian woman, Tania Warner, and her autistic seven-year-old daughter, Ayla Luca, have been detained by ICE in Texas since March 14th after being stopped at a border patrol checkpoint. Warner, who lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her US citizen husband, Edward Warner, was allegedly told she could be released if she agreed to self-deport to Canada, despite having valid paperwork to live and work in the US until 2030. The family has been moved to the Dilley immigration processing center, a facility that has faced criticism. Edward Warner reports his wife and daughter are traumatized by the experience, and Ayla has developed a rash. Congressman Vicente Gonzalez is working for their release, stating that Tania has a work permit and is part of the community. The family is seeking legal assistance.
