Mother and child held in notorious Rio Grande Valley detention centre despite presenting visa, family says

A Canadian mother and her seven-year-old daughter, who has autism, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas since Saturday, family members have said.

Relatives of Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas say they were detained unlawfully. They are uncertain about what problem ICE found with their immigration paperwork.

Tania Warner and her daughter are both Canadians, with Warner originally from British Columbia. The Canadian broadcaster CTV News reported that they are being held at the notorious Rio Grande Valley Central processing centre in McAllen, Texas.

Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.

I mean, they will be killing autistic people in camps in masses very soon. Might as well start now is their mentality.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

i mean they are moving pregnant underage girls raped by ICE in the detention facilities to a 'breeding facility"

[–] natecox@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

I feel like most people have a mother, what a weird thing to call out.

/s, I hope obviously

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 56 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Phew! It's a GOOD thing ICE is going after ~~Criminals!~~ ~~Pedophiles!~~ ~~Illegals!~~ Autistic CHILDREN!

-Republicans!

Just another example of how trumps America is 1940's nazi germany. Purge everyone that is not pure Arian. Can't wait for the 21st century Nuremberg trials

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago

This is how RFK is waging his war on autism.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 42 points 22 hours ago (19 children)

I don't understand why anyone would willingly move to the U.S in the last 20 years. It's a total shithole and the food is bad.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

total shithole

Hard to ironically quote Trump without picking up his pernicious tendencies. Like, blaming victims to distract from the real root of problems (the US government and all of its agents who did this).

~100k usd annually. You're from somewhere worse. You couldn't get into NZ, etc...

Hyperbolic 20 years lol

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

~100k usd annually.

Not sure what you're representing, here. Income? Is that how the dow is 50-thousand?

You're from somewhere worse.

Is that ad-hominem or are you suggesting a motivation for moving to America? Because moving from "someplace worse" is actually the reason everyone moves; for varying criteria but that's the reason.

You couldn't get into NZ, etc...

Again, not sure whether this is stating motivation; is that the intent?

Hyperbolic 20 years

This is an odd thing to point out.

lol

Ah! You were a pre-teen back then. I get it now.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Reasons people would have moved to the US in the past 20 years 🤡

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

They really got your millennial ass by pointing out you were young 20 years ago hahaha

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You've apparently never been to Louisiana. The only good thing about it is the food.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago

But God damn is the food fucking good...

As is most of the food around the US that isn't just hyper processed shit from the store. People in the US make some damn good food

How quickly the American attention span goes to the next shiny object. Remember when Robbie Junior was sporting a woody over the idea of sending autistic people to labor camps?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why the hell would anybody choose to move from British Columbia to Texas? What a downgrade.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

She moved to be with her husband.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What a shithole. Let me guess, she is white, conservative and never thought the leopards would eat her face.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 16 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

She's certainly white.

So they are detaining white people legally here on work visas. Cool. So, is this Phase II? Next is any white person, "indiscriminately", I take it?

Also worth mentioning that her autistic 7 year old daughter didn't vote for this and her face is being eaten, too.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They have shot white people dead already.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yes but they were protesters.

Not excusing it, not at all, just different circumstances.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think this is where the fascist gestapo evolution of violence starts, or stops?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Neither. I think we are in step 2 or 3 by now.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 4 points 17 hours ago

They've killed white people in ICE detention as well.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 6 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

She wouldn't have voted for it either - she's not a citizen.

Neither of them voted for this.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yes well existing in the country means we deserve it according to people on this platform now

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

according to some people on this platform now

But your point is well taken

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Are you putting a stop to it? "Deserve" is not the right word. I would say all Americans are in some manner "responsible" for your current state, either from action, or inaction.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 hours ago

I never said voted. I'm speculating that she is conservative.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Some states allow documented immigrants to cast ballots for state and local office but not federal.

Probably not Texas. But in some states she could be a maga voter.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

Penticton leans 50-50. She could have supported our centre-left in the last election, but she'd've been a rarity as they were savaged strategically to get the centrist instead of the conservative wank. (Because it may suck, but that's how we fucking do Harm Reduction, kids)

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

There's still no evidence that this woman is a case of face-eating leopards and the blame should be on the US government. Not the woman who is currently being detained with her young daughter.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

A Canadian living in Texas in this day and age? What did you think was going to happen? In case anyone is slow getting the message - Get the fuck out now.
