00:00:00.000 A Canadian woman and her 7-year-old autistic daughter were arrested by ICE and thrown in a detention camp.
00:00:06.260 This is a crazy and sad story, and I don't think it's getting the attention it deserves.
00:00:10.860 Let's take a look.
00:00:11.780 There's no place for a 7-year-old to be.
00:00:13.500 No place to be is the Texas detention center known as Ursula,
00:00:17.980 since renovated but once known for holding children in cages.
00:00:22.680 Edward Warner says his Canadian wife, Tanya Warner, and her daughter have been there since Saturday.
00:00:28.440 yeah you heard that right ice detained a mother and her young child and threw them inside a
00:00:37.400 detention camp ice camps that are notorious for being inhumane this poor little girl she's
00:00:43.480 probably going to be traumatized because of all of this now the old story was that ice was focused
00:00:50.580 on detaining illegal aliens with a specific focus on people that were causing crime in the country
00:00:56.120 now it was always assumed that if you went to the united states legally you followed all the rules
00:01:00.660 you wouldn't have any problems and that's even under trump's aggressive anti-immigrant agenda
00:01:06.100 however that assumption has been completely proven wrong let me explain this woman tanya
00:01:10.780 warner was in the country legally on a valid workers permit she was not a criminal she wasn't
00:01:16.360 in the country illegally she wasn't causing any problems she wasn't from a third world country
00:01:21.540 this woman was from canada now despite the fact that the mother and daughter had the proper
00:01:26.000 documentation they were still arrested and thrown in a detention camp this shows that even people
00:01:32.000 from canada that follow the rules can still find themselves in trouble in the united states now the
00:01:37.040 father of the child he's panicked and he's scrambling to get his daughter out of u.s
00:01:40.720 detention check this is not somewhere you want your family to be at and it's not something
00:01:47.360 anybody should have to really go through ctv news reached out to ice and the department of homeland
00:01:52.160 security to ask about this case and why a seven-year-old is still in detention the government
00:01:57.440 acknowledged our request and even asked for some follow-up information about the pair but didn't
00:02:02.160 answer our questions what's happening here is that the american government is acting less like a free
00:02:06.800 country and more like an authoritarian police state now this isn't the first time a canadian
00:02:11.600 citizen was unlawfully detained by ice in the united states and sadly this wasn't the first
00:02:16.720 time that a young child was unlawfully detained by ice in the united states department of homeland
00:02:21.680 security responded to backlash after ICE agents detained a five-year-old boy in Minneapolis.
00:02:28.540 DHS officials say the boy's father ran from federal agents leaving the child behind,
00:02:34.300 but his family is refuting those claims, saying the agents were using the boy as bait to draw
00:02:39.940 family members from their home. Joe McCoy from our sister station in Minneapolis has new video
00:02:45.340 that sheds some light on what happened.
00:02:48.640 New video obtained by Kara Levin shows the heated moments
00:02:52.580 as five-year-old Liam Conejo-Ramos and his father,
00:02:56.020 Adrian Alexander Conejos Arias,
00:02:58.560 were detained by ICE in Columbia Heights on Tuesday.
00:03:01.400 Where's your humanity?
00:03:02.860 Protesters and ICE agents yelling back and forth
00:03:05.720 about what is taking place.
00:03:07.460 Hey, we're trying to take a kid!
00:03:09.700 No, we're not. We're trying to get him with the ball.
00:03:11.540 The Department of Homeland Security says Liam and his dad
00:03:14.740 are now being held at a federal detention facility in Texas.
00:03:18.460 This afternoon, the family's attorney and Columbia Heights School District leaders
00:03:22.280 pled for the two to be released.
00:03:24.520 These are not illegal aliens.
00:03:26.580 They came properly, they came legally, and are pursuing a legal pathway.
00:03:31.960 This shows a disturbing pattern of ICE arresting children,
00:03:35.340 even when their parents have the proper documentation.
00:03:38.140 Incidents like this will only further strain Canada-U.S. relations.
00:03:41.320 people are going to think twice about traveling or legally immigrating to the country. Personally
00:03:46.540 I wouldn't advise any Canadian or anyone really from any other country to go to the United States
00:03:51.700 until Trump is out of power and ICE gets his act together. It's just too dangerous. Now this isn't
00:03:57.460 just a sad tragic story about a young autistic girl that was accidentally detained by Trump's
00:04:02.860 ICE agents. No this is a story about how Trump's immigration policies are getting out of control
00:04:08.820 and Canadians are paying for it as well.
