Immigration officials have doubled down on their assertion that a mom arrested in the Mississippi raids, who says she needs to breastfeed her daughter, is not breastfeeding

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

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...

WAS WANTED FOR DRUG SMUGGLING AND MURDER !!! WHAT ABOUT THAT PART OF THE STORY, YOU FORGOT THAT PART !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE REAL STORY !!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS A FEEL SORRY FOR THEM STORY WITHOUT TELLING THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING NEWS MEDIA IS HORRIBLE TODAY LIE AFTER LIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check it out first, OMG..

seems she was lying

If you read the news you will know that she was apprehend because she was using another person social security a criminal act. Her child is been well taken care of by immigration he is 4 months old.He donot need to be breast feed and we all know that.

Aaa

I am appalled at the cruelty of some replies. Have we lost our humanity

Only certain kind of people are being targeted for deportation WOW!!! AND HAVE WE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE DURING WWII SMGDH!!!

Illegal, illegal, illegal alien! This person doesn't have rights under our constitution/bill of rights! Get your story factual be4 print! Cnn, u would ruin the this great country, why? U want 2 actually become state run TV? U won't like it, pelosi approving all data be4 print/air

She’s a liar and the kids probably aren’t hers, do dna tests

Should have thought about it before you came here illegally. FollowTheLaw Comply WeThePeople 🇺🇸 VoteRedToSaveAmerica 🇺🇸 VoteRED America BlueLivesMatter ICE LawEnforcement DHS BorderPatrol LeoMom 💙

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!

Greenland's Massive Ice Melt Wasn't Supposed To Happen Until 2070The human race is a passenger in the car of climate change that's hydroplaning to the cliff edge of an environmental catastrophe. Net global ice loss is ZERO. You're publishing propaganda. More lies. We have the same tonnage of ice we've had for decades. While some glaciers melt (which has been happening for several thousand years) others are growing. The net total has been the same for years. Stop with the propaganda.

A Mississippi church counts its missing after ICE raids: 'This is a very dark moment'After the massive immigration raids in Mississippi, Father Roberto Mena has lost nearly half of his parishioners at his churches in the small rural towns of Forest and Morton. Workers’ families and loved ones are flocking to St. Michael not just for devotion and prayer, but for comfort and… I just gotta ask- is he preaching respect for the government and its laws? Even Jesus and his family were counted in a census; even the Bible states to respect the government. Who stole the podium?

Funeral for lost ice: Iceland bids farewell to glacierWith poetry, moments of silence and political speeches about the urgent need to fight climate change, Icelandic officials, activists and others bade goodbye to what once was a glacier. how are you going to stop this? Revelation 21:1 says, 'Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.' Remember when we had a glacier that formed the Great Lakes? It was a sad day when we lost her...thanks a lot Trump!!! Sad that Trump threw out most of the enforcements that was slowing down climate change for corporate profit. He and the republicans are obviously too stupid and greedy to be trusted with anything.
