At least three migrant children were taken into custody and restrained with zip ties at the San Antonio Immigration Court, located at 800 Dolorosa Street, on Thursday, May 29, according to multiple sources.
The incident was captured on video by an immigration attorney, who then shared the footage with attendees of an immigration law conference being held this week at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio Riverwalk Hotel by the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc., or CLINIC…
…
The children — two boys and a girl who appeared to be between the ages of 9 and 12 years old — were detained and zip-tied, along with adults who appeared to be relatives, after an immigration judge had dismissed their case, according to Carolina Rivera, an immigration attorney who serves as a federal advocate and liaison for CLINIC. That dismissal should have meant they were no longer subject to removal proceedings, Rivera said…
…
It’s unclear if those agents, or the ones who took the children into custody on Thursday, work for ICE. Rivera said when CLINIC-affiliated officials asked the agents to identify themselves, they replied that “they were FBI.”….
…
“Because of that policy change, we’re seeing what’s happening now. It’s ICE in courtrooms, so that’s gonna create fear around people… that is gonna have an effect on the individuals that are seeking asylum,” Rivera said.
For the experienced immigration attorney-turned-immigration-law-advocate, seeing children restrained by zip ties is disturbing. And it’s something she’s only seen happen under Trump…..
