The woman was detained at her check-in appointment with ICE in a Tampa office. She was apparently trying to go through the required steps to adjust her legal status. A family lawyer and a US Rep. tried to intervene but were unsuccessful.
Her deportation has been so sudden and traumatic for their infant daughter, still breastfeeding and with ongoing health issues, that her grandmother was taking her to the hospital, he said in a phone interview on Friday. “The baby is distressed and does not want to eat,” Valle said. “Imagine, they ripped the child from her mother’s arms at the immigration office; the cries of that woman in there could be heard back in Cuba,” he said, speaking of his wife’s desperation at being separated from her daughter.
