Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) said Monday that a mom in her Tampa district was “ripped away” from her infant by ICE agents and unlawfully deported to Cuba.
In a letter to President Donald Trump, Castor urges him to “immediately” grant humanitarian parole for Heidy Sánchez, whose husband told Castor that ICE agents’ separation of Sanchez from her infant daughter was so traumatic that the baby was taken to the hospital.
Do you honestly think that King Donald is capable of doing anything “humanitarian”?
“The baby was still breastfeeding at the time your Administration tore them apart, and the baby’s ongoing health issues require her mother’s return to the U.S. as soon as possible,” Castor wrote to Trump.
“It is unconscionable and wrong for your ICE personnel to harm families in this way,” she said. “Ms. Sánchez is entitled to due process, and her husband and daughter (both U.S. citizens) deserve to be treated with the dignity we value as Americans.”
