Mother Detained While Breastfeeding | San Antonio News
Description
A Guatemalan mother, Maria Perez, is locked up in Louisiana after being arrested in Nashville, sparking a fierce legal battle as her attorneys argue her detention violates ICE’s own rules on breastfeeding mothers — especially since she’s nursing her 10-month-old and caring for a 2-year-old with Down syndrome. Her asylum claim stems from life-threatening domestic violence back home, but DHS says she lied about U.S. citizenship and entered illegally — and insists they’re following protocol while offering top-tier care. Her kids are now with a neighbor, and her next court date is late August — with her future and theirs hanging in the balance.
