Mother and child held in notorious Rio Grande Valley detention centre despite presenting visa, family says

A Canadian mother and her seven-year-old daughter, who has autism, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas since Saturday, family members have said.

Relatives of Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas say they were detained unlawfully. They are uncertain about what problem ICE found with their immigration paperwork.

Tania Warner and her daughter are both Canadians, with Warner originally from British Columbia. The Canadian broadcaster CTV News reported that they are being held at the notorious Rio Grande Valley Central processing centre in McAllen, Texas.

Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.

This is how RFK is waging his war on autism.

I don't understand why anyone would willingly move to the U.S in the last 20 years. It's a total shithole and the food is bad.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

total shithole

Hard to ironically quote Trump without picking up his pernicious tendencies. Like, blaming victims to distract from the real root of problems (the US government and all of its agents who did this).

~100k usd annually. You're from somewhere worse. You couldn't get into NZ, etc...

Hyperbolic 20 years lol

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You've apparently never been to Louisiana. The only good thing about it is the food.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

But God damn is the food fucking good...

As is most of the food around the US that isn't just hyper processed shit from the store. People in the US make some damn good food

Indeed, big leopardseatmyface vibes in this story.

Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.

Seems like she probably moved to the US to be with her husband.

God forbid couples would want to be together.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Meh the US hate on this platform is supercharged so it'll just keep going like this

I mean some parts of it are valid but people are just terrible people sometimes

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 0 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yeah it's kinda gross to look at this situation and immediately blame the mother here.

I guess since the other overwhelming hatred here on this site is for women, this makes sense.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What a shithole. Let me guess, she is white, conservative and never thought the leopards would eat her face.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

She's certainly white.

So they are detaining white people legally here on work visas. Cool. So, is this Phase II? Next is any white person, "indiscriminately", I take it?

Also worth mentioning that her autistic 7 year old daughter didn't vote for this and her face is being eaten, too.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

She wouldn't have voted for it either - she's not a citizen.

Neither of them voted for this.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Some states allow documented immigrants to cast ballots for state and local office but not federal.

Probably not Texas. But in some states she could be a maga voter.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

There's still no evidence that this woman is a case of face-eating leopards and the blame should be on the US government. Not the woman who is currently being detained with her young daughter.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yes well existing in the country means we deserve it according to people on this platform now

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

according to some people on this platform now

But your point is well taken

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They have shot white people dead already.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes but they were protesters.

Not excusing it, not at all, just different circumstances.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

They've killed white people in ICE detention as well.
