"Federal immigration agents detained a two-year-old girl and her father in
Minneapolis on Thursday and transported them to Texas, according to court
records and the family’s lawyers.
The father, identified in court filings as Elvis Joel TE, and his daughter were
stopped and detained by officers around 1pm when they were returning home from
the store. By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by
9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a
Texas detention center.
Irina Vaynerman, one of the family’s lawyers, told the
Guardian late Friday
afternoon that immigration officials had since flown both of them back to
Minnesota and released the two-year-old into the custody of her mother. The
father remains detained in Minnesota, she said.
“The horror is truly unimaginable,” Vaynerman said. “The depravity of all of
this is beyond words.”"
