The Spin

Detaining a Canadian mom and her 7-year-old autistic daughter for nearly three weeks — despite valid work authorization with an expiry date of June 2030 — is rogue enforcement, plain and simple. Sleeping on floors under foil blankets while ICE agents pressure a child's mother to "self-deport" isn't border security, it's cruelty. Tania Warner's case proves this administration is targeting law-abiding families, not dangerous criminals.
