This is a lie. Every report I’ve seen from people on the ground has said that a family member and observers begged to take the child and they wouldn’t let them. And now the child is in Texas detention facility. The child was detained. The child was detained. They detained and incarcerated a child.
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.
