https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/may/08/trump-administration-parents-arrestedmonth-old daughter, LT was running out of options.
Her baby, who was allergic to formula and had other food sensitivities, had been vomiting constantly and needed breastmilk. But the government refused to release LT an asylum seeker from Haiti on bond. So, the familys pediatrician petitioned the government to allow her to pump and mail her breastmilk from the Dilley detention center in Texas to her baby in Florida. That request was denied.
Desperate, LT asked whether her child could be brought into the detention center to be with her. The government denied that, too, she said, on the grounds that the child, who is a US citizen, couldnt be kept at an immigration detention center.
Im terrified of losing my baby, she said.

Become docile and obedient like in China and Russia.
