A mother and her three children were detained by ICE during a raid targeting a suspect unrelated to them in a small New York town. Following days of protests and public outcry from community members, local school officials, and advocacy groups, the family was released. The principal of the children's school emphasized their innocence and strong community ties, noting that the family had adhered to immigration processes. The incident highlighted the tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and its impact on local communities.
'We are in shock, and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release.'
'The family declared themselves to immigration judges and had been following the legal process, yet they were detained during a raid for another suspect.'
