U.S. officials deport a British family that claimed crossing the border from Canada accidentally and being detained in dreadful conditions for two weeks.
A British family that made an unauthorized entry from Canada into the U.S. has been deported after two weeks in what they described as deplorable conditions in federal custody, their lawyer said.
David Connors, 30, and Eileen Connors, 24, said they were improperly arrested Oct. 2 after their car swerved into a ditch while trying to avoid an animal in British Columbia and accidentally entered Washington state. Eileen Connors said they were held in cold, unsanitary facilities and “treated like criminals."
Eileen Connors said the bathrooms are broken and dirty. The facility is cold, but authorities told her they can't turn the heat on until November, she said. She said her baby developed a swollen, teary eye and blotchy skin.
