Maria Domingo-Garcia left for work 12 days ago, and she hasn't been home since.

The mother of three has been separated from her 4-month-old daughter -- who she still breastfeeds -- since being picked up during an ICE raid at Koch Foods in Morton, Mississippi.Domingo-Garcia was among the 680 undocumented immigrants detained August 7 in raids, the most in the agency's history, at seven food processing plants across the central part of the state.She's being held at a facility in Jena, Louisiana, which is nearly 200 miles from Morton.

"It's absolutely a horrific and tragic situation this family is going through," the lawyer told CNN Sunday over the phone."As a father and an immigration attorney it doesn't make sense to me."Manzanarez visited Domingo-Garcia Saturday and says the mother is feeling the effects of having to suddenly stop breastfeeding. "She is still really depressed. She is in a lot of pain because of not being able to pump or breastfeed," Manzanarez said.

Fake News. Nurse confirms twice she is NOT lactating and the woman also claimed she was not. That is until a scummy lawyer told her to say it in order to be released. Stay classy CNN.

What does her feeding habits have to do with it

BoSnerdley The US should be compassionate and immediately fly them home First Class

BoSnerdley strange adjective flex, but OK

TrueFactsStated Shame on this country!

That is her problem....she broke the law...Abusive on her on her part traveling with a baby that young.

That's awful. She should have been sent back where she came from by now.

Too bad it takes even 2 weeks to kick her lactating big dirty milkers back across the border.

A breastfeeding mom is still being held 12 days after breaking law, attorneys say

Why did she come as an illegal migrant? She hurt her own kids with her wrong choices 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Heart wrenching- reminds me of a story about a family who came to America, legally, and enjoyed the benefits of a free country...

Well, yeah. That's what happens when you enter the country illegally.

yunjid .SenJeffMerkley .RonWyden .repblumenauer A baby taken from a nursing mother? This is criminal child abuse and you must stop it. Now. Before Stephen Miller bankrupts the nation with his evil.

Good

Why did she enter the US illegally? Seems she could be breastfeeding in her nation of origin...

She should go back to Mexico.

Is this in any way different from treatment of other criminals in the US jails? What does the law say about children whose guardians are put in jail?

Oh well... She put herself in that situation, she knew she was putting the kids in danger when she came illegally. American mom's and dads are taken away from their children daily when arrested for committing crimes and no one makes a big deal out of it. End the hypocrisy.

Parents need to take responsibility for the choices they make. If someone were to enter a home illegally citizen or not they would leave others to care for their children. They know there are consequences to breaking the law

How irresponsible of her to put her kids at risk, why didn’t she apply from her country for legal entry.

and ?

Fredo!

Would she be breastfeeding in her country of orgin ?

Lord hear our prayers

So.... What's your point?

Good thing she's being fed regularly and finally has access to medical care.

Give her a 1st class ticket to Malibu and a new mansion.

That’s the face of a heart surgeon or civil engineer if I ever saw one. Genius of her to lug an infant around the wilderness.

and you'd think that extremely pro-life administration (sorry - I can't write those last 3 words with a straight face) care for kid's well-being, but that's not the case: ICE agents now act like sharks who felt blood in the water or Terminator T 1000, no emotions or compassion

This is disgraceful.

...the ICE facility is safer than any part of her 1000+ mile route. It was her choice to cross the border illegally.

Three Hots and a Cot! God Bless America!

Not right. But NOT new: “The Obama administration has now kept traumatized children and their mothers locked up for nearly a year,” said Clara Long, US researcher at Human Rights Watch.…':

She supposed to be let go or sum?

It's what happens when you come here illegally

The current situation that there are still such people. What can we do? Can the United Nations cover everything? Then, the work of each country and local government is expected. What we can do is to extend salvation from there.

cruel !

Never thought I'd see the day people were so cruel

Don’t jump the border, don’t get detained.

Do illegal things, get separated.

Should of thought of her baby before illegal entry

Where is she to go?

Perhaps the wiser move was to stay home with the infant.

Perhaps she should have stayed home.

Have patience. Please.

Peace to all.
