Ferreira's attorney said his client came to the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. She's in the process of actually getting her residency and she was abruptly arrested and taken from her young child right before Thanksgiving, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told WCVB, which published a statement from a source familiar with the situation. This individual is the mother of Karoline's nephew and they have not spoken in many years, the source said.
