B.C. woman who was detained in Texas speaks out on harm to children in ICE custody
Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas were released from an immigration facility in Texas on April 2, after being held for nearly three weeks.
Warner, who is originally from Penticton, B.C., said they were unlawfully detained and she wants to speak out about her experience in custody.
"I am concerned about retaliation," Warner said, while wearing an ICE-issued ankle monitor.
"Being a Canadian with privilege, I believe that it's my duty to share, no matter what the outcome."
She said every family she met while detained had, at the very least, attempted to move to the United States lawfully. She claims many of the people who were being held — like her — had filed the proper paperwork.
Warner maintains that she and Ayla were unlawfully detained and had followed the correct protocols to move to the U.S. to be with her husband, nearly five years ago.

ICE doesn't give a flying fuck about any of this.
