TLDR

A 2-year-old girl and her father, both Ecuadorian nationals, were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis and shipped to Texas, despite a court order to release the child. The girl and her father were removed from a parked car during a targeted enforcement operation. The girl's mother refused to accept her from ICE agents, and the family's attorney filed an emergency petition for their release. A judge issued an order to release the child and stop her transfer out of Minnesota, but ICE had already placed her on a flight to Texas. The family's attorney filed a motion to block ICE from moving detainees out of Minnesota, citing bad-faith conduct.
