B.C. mother and seven-year-old daughter freed from ICE, says MLA
The judge set US$9,500 bond after the mother and daughter spent more than two weeks in immigration detention and now face hearings.
- On Thursday, Canadian mother Tania Warner and her seven-year-old daughter, Ayla, were released from Texas detention after posting a US$9,500 bond following more than two weeks in custody since March 14.
- U.S. border officials took the pair into custody on March 14 at a mandatory checkpoint in Sarita, Texas, while returning from a baby shower. Warner insists she has lived legally in the United States for four and a half years.
- Warner's lawyer argued they filed all necessary documents and received federal approval to legally extend their stay. A judge determined they are not a flight risk, supporting the bond decision.
- Independent MLA Amelia Boultbee credited public pressure and diplomatic efforts with making the bond hearing occur "significantly faster." Boultbee stated the family expressed gratitude for widespread support.
- The mother and daughter now face several upcoming immigration hearings that will determine if they may remain in the United States or face deportation. Their legal status remains pending.
