A Canadian mother who spent nearly three weeks in ICE custody alongside her seven-year-old daughter is speaking out about the conditions families endure in U.S. immigration detention facilities.
Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla were held at Texas facilities that have been characterized as unsafe and degrading. After their release, Warner reflected on the emotional toll of leaving behind other detainees who remain locked up.
"They were wonderful people. I just loved them and I cried so hard when I left, I just wanted to take them all with me," Warner said, describing the bonds formed during her confinement.
Warner's account underscores the hardship faced by families trapped in the immigration detention system. Her testimony joins a growing chorus of complaints about conditions at ICE facilities, particularly those holding parents with children.
The three-week ordeal has left Warner acutely aware of those still in detention. Her public comments shed light on the human cost of immigration enforcement operations that separate families or confine them in what detainees describe as inhumane settings.
