Immigration officials have doubled down on their assertion that a mom arrested in the Mississippi raids, who says she needs to breastfeed her daughter, is not breastfeeding
Immigration officials doubled down Tuesday on their assertion that a mother arrested in the Mississippi raids earlier this month is not breastfeeding.
The family and attorney of Maria Domingo-Garcia dispute ICE's contention and maintain she is still suffering from the pain of being separated from her breastfeeding daughter. Domingo-Garcia was breastfeeding her daughter to put her to sleep every night, up until she was detained August 7, her attorney, Ray Ybarra Maldonado, told CNN. Previously, authorities said Domingo-Garcia was asked during processing if she was breastfeeding and she replied that she was not.

Detainees undergo medical, dental and mental health screening within 12 hours of their arrival at a detention facility, ICE says, and it was during this period that Domingo-Garcia allegedly said she was not breastfeeding.
Immigration raid's effects reverberate in Mississippi 02:50In a video posted online by The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, Domingo-Garcia's husband tried to bottle-feed a crying infant as he explained that he has friends in the area but no family to help care for the children. He has been trying to take the kids' minds off the situation, he told the newspaper.
