Tania Warner, a Canadian citizen originally from British Columbia, and her seven-year-old daughter Ayla Luca were released from a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Dilley, Texas, after nearly three weeks in custody. They posted a bond of $9,500 following a judge's ruling that they were not a flight risk. Warner moved to the United States in 2021 after marrying Edward Warner, a US citizen. The family was detained on March 14 while returning home to Kingsville, Texas, from a baby shower. Despite having valid immigration documents, they were apprehended at a checkpoint and taken into custody. Warner reported that conditions in the detention centers were dire, with inadequate sleeping arrangements and constant pressure to self-deport. The family will now undergo a series of hearings to determine if they can remain in the United States or face deportation. Global Affairs Canada is aware of the case and advocates for Canadian citizens in similar situations, although they cannot intervene in local legal processes.
