Mother decries ICE detention after release: ‘What the administration is doing is wrong and illegal’

Tania Warner and her daughter were detained in Texas facilities deemed ‘unsafe and degrading’

When Tania Warner and her seven-year-old daughter, Ayla, were released after nearly three weeks of detention by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Canadian mother’s joy at regaining her freedom was tempered by the knowledge of the many families who remained incarcerated.

“They were wonderful people. I just loved them and I cried so hard when I left, I just wanted to take them all with me,” she said.
