ICE Deports Family with Sick Baby to Mexico
Castro stated he verified the removal of Juan Nicolas, his 16-month-old sister, and both parents after talks with the family’s legal counsel. He said that “according to their attorney, ICE deported the family with only the money that they had in their commissary — a total of $190.”
The congressman criticized the decision, calling it “heinous” to deport a sick infant along with his entire family, and asserted they were left “abandoned across the border in Mexico.”
Juan Nicolas had been held for about three weeks at the Dilley immigration facility in trailers. He was taken to a medical center late Monday night after becoming ill with bronchitis, but Castro noted he was discharged around midnight despite his condition.
Castro emphasized his team’s efforts to “track them down, hold ICE accountable for this monstrous action, demand specific details on their whereabouts and wellbeing, and ensure their safety.”
The actions of ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been under heavy criticism following incidents earlier this year in Minnesota, where federal immigration agents killed two U.S. citizens during enforcement activities, igniting demonstrations and calls for accountability.
