"As a mother to 15- and 11-year-old daughters, I am furious. This is not immigration enforcement. It's the deliberate targeting of a child to inflict maximum pain on her family."
"She should be returned home to her family this afternoon and able to go back to school tomorrow."
"The boy's mother and others accused ICE of using Ramos as 'bait' in order to take other members of his family into custody. Federal officials have denied this."
U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan condemned the detention of a 14-year-old girl from Marlborough by federal immigration agents, characterizing it as deliberate targeting of a child to inflict pain on her family rather than legitimate immigration enforcement. The girl was allegedly used as leverage to coerce her father into surrendering for deportation during an overnight operation. Trahan called for the girl's immediate release and return to school. She drew parallels to the earlier detention of 5-year-old Liam Ramos, whose case also sparked outrage over ICE tactics. A judge previously criticized the Trump administration for pursuing deportation quotas through such methods.
