Immigration officials doubled down Tuesday on their assertion that a mother arrested in the Mississippi raids earlier this month is not breastfeeding.
The family and attorney of Maria Domingo-Garcia dispute ICE's contention and maintain she is still suffering from the pain of being separated from her breastfeeding daughter. Domingo-Garcia was breastfeeding her daughter to put her to sleep every night, up until she was detained August 7, her attorney, Ray Ybarra Maldonado, told CNN. Previously, authorities said Domingo-Garcia was asked during processing if she was breastfeeding and she replied that she was not.
Child makes tearful plea to ICE: I need my dad 02:03"Any suggestion that ICE does not give significant consideration to humanitarian factors when making arrest and custody determinations would be a patently false claim." Detainees undergo medical, dental and mental health screening within 12 hours of their arrival at a detention facility, ICE says, and it was during this period that Domingo-Garcia allegedly said she was not breastfeeding.
Immigration raid's effects reverberate in Mississippi 02:50In a video posted online by The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, Domingo-Garcia's husband tried to bottle-feed a crying infant as he explained that he has friends in the area but no family to help care for the children. He has been trying to take the kids' minds off the situation, he told the newspaper.
Fear reigns in Mississippi community in aftermath of ICE raids 02:45The 3-year-old doesn't really understand what's happening but knows his mother isn't there, while the 11-year-old knows and understands why his mother is gone, Manzanarez said."He's like, 'I want my mom back home. I don't understand why they're keeping here,' and, 'She didn't do anything wrong. We need her here,'" Manzanarez said.
proof of the propaganda CNN pushes!! Thanks Obama you hypocrite sellout!!
Asylum seekers go through the proper channels and are processed accordingly. Those who did NOT go through the same channels are NOT asylum seekers...they are something other than that...and must be dealt with...accordingly.
They said she is not LACTATING, according to the results of a medical exam...just admit you were WRONG Fake News...and APOLOGIZE.
If a us resident gets a dui, do they forgive her cuz she’s breastfeeding?
People lie about most anything, to get what they want...

Give her some cabbage leaves to put in her bra. All mothers have been through it. It's not that painful. Sore boobs, no big deal. Plus, she's lying anyway
Y’all forgot to talk about this
AmazonRainforest AmazonFire
Her boobs dont look like they are lactating. JS
Dismal
AND SHE WAS LYING
If she doesn’t like it, she should have stayed the F in her country and not broken the law.
I wonder , who picked up a tap for the births of her children? The story is a bull, and anybody who ever breastfed knows that too.
It us so obvious that Trump doesn't see these people as human. Plse vote this fool put in 2020. Trump is doing ths in the name of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. is this who we are? The answer will be loud and clear in 2020. Don't try to hide behind some supposed great economy.
Any kind of trauma can effect a woman's ability to produce milk, especially if she is only doing it a couple times of day. A baby needs their mother. Disgraceful and trying to make a mother out to be a monster because she forged a ss. What would you do to protect your kids?
Fake News!!! Waiting for a retraction...
This is poorly written. She claimed to only breastfeed once a day, at night, then later in the article it says the baby won't take formula. Is she Mexican or Guatemalan?
Fake breaking news
Is this really breaking news?
Hard to breastfeed if you’re not lactating.
So wrong to do this they are not doctors....
‘Cause if they’re breastfeeding you can’t separate them from their children. Got it.
Oh? All of a sudden liberals care about babies? Wrap a coat hanger around it’s neck and toss it in the dumpster and they’ll forget all about it.
cnn must get paid a lot from the DNC
They make pumps !
Slow news day?
Yeah, I'm going to believe Immigration officials... The government never lies.
Of course she’s not breastfeeding. The baby is not with her so how could she?
But let me guess... If she whipped out her breast to feed the baby, ICE would arrest her for indecent exposure and use that as grounds to deport her.
We mean illegal arrested. aka criminal.
America the beautiful 🙄 🙄 🙄
stop talking about it and talk about the largest forest in the world that is being destroyed right now. burnt dying animals and trees 💔🌲 PrayforAmazonia
Duh. Didn’t anyone really think otherwise? What a disgrace.
SURPRISE!!!!! Probably not her kids either!!!
This is peak trump stupidity for the day. It becomes national news that a federal agency is arguing that a mother isn't breastfeeding because thanks to Trump that is somehow relevant.
Fake news
So an illegal and a liar.
It's all about cruelty. They are creating the next ISIS by treating these people like this.
Seeking asylum is a universal right therefore those who do so have not committed a crime and should not be treated as such. The first clause is in the UN charter.
Probably not even her kid
No mother should be separated from her baby, I don't care how she's being fed.
Assertion isn’t acceptable!
