A New Zealand Mother and Her 6-Year-Old Son Made a Brief Trip to Canada. They Have Spent Weeks Detained by ICE | News Channel 3-12
Sarah Shaw and her son were detained over an expired travel permit despite valid documents, highlighting immigration enforcement impacts on lawful residents, attorney said.
- Last month, Sarah Shaw, a New Zealand citizen, and her six-year-old son were detained at the Blaine, Washington, CBP checkpoint after a brief Canada trip, despite valid documents.
- Examining the paperwork, Shaw’s travel permit had lapsed, and she believed her work permit renewal extended travel authorization, according to her attorney Minda Thorward.
- Victoria Besancon said conditions were cramped; Shaw spent three weeks in a detention facility feeling 'incredibly isolated', with rooms locked nightly and no outdoor time.
- According to the Department of Homeland Security, Shaw may be released after her parole was granted and a flight back to Washington state was booked.
- Immigration officials have escalated detentions under current policies, with other detained mothers reporting lasting psychological trauma, highlighting broader enforcement impacts.
