NegativeU.S News

The Department of Homeland Security has rejected a report by NBC alleging that ICE used a 5-year-old autistic girl as bait to arrest her father. Tricia McLaughlin, the girl's mother, condemned the report as a 'disgusting smear,' asserting that her husband, Edwards Hip Mejia, abandoned their daughter during the attempted arrest in Leominster, Massachusetts. This incident raises serious concerns about the treatment of vulnerable individuals during immigration enforcement actions.
