NEW: Two children were left without either parent at home for eight days after Mississippi ICE raid earlier this month, according to interviews with the family.
U.S. immigration authorities took eight days before they realized they had detained both parents of two children in Mississippi earlier this month when it launched what became the biggest single-state workplace immigration raid in history, according to interviews with the family.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said everyone that day who told authorities they had children at home was given priority processing. If both parents were arrested, one parent was sent home within 24 hours, a spokesman said. The agents would even ask specifics, he said, like, “Do you have a child in school who is depending upon you to give them a ride?”
Ana said she arrived about 8 a.m. for her shift that morning -- as her husband’s graveyard shift was ending -- when she realized something was happening. Immigration authorities appeared, telling the workers to line up and board a bus. That’s when the ICE officer asked her the children’s names and their dates of birth, Pedro said. Ana was then released to her family.
