Federal immigration authorities on Friday arrested a Venezuelan couple for a second time this month, their lawyer and relatives said, after a federal judge in D.C. ordered their release last week in a case that stemmed from their having illegally crossed the border more than two years ago.
The couple was driving in Suitland, Maryland, with their 4-year-old son when authorities stopped the vehicle and arrested them, said Madhvi Bahl, a volunteer with the group Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid, which had been supporting the family.
They were then taken to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Chantilly, Virginia — the same facility from which they had been released last week.
