The mother of a six-month-old baby must be released from immigration detention after Donald Trump’s administration declined to mount a defense for keeping her there while she was still nursing, according to a federal judge.
Karina Alvarez San Juan’s youngest child was three months old when she was arrested during a traffic stop in Florida for an allegedly broken taillight in May, according to her attorney. Immigration and Customs Enforcement then moved her to a detention center in Louisiana, where she has been locked up for more than three months.
