ICE Deports Mother and Four Children, Including U.S. Citizen Newborn Twins, to Mexico

The Biden administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently deported a young mother and her four children—two of whom are newborn U.S. citizens—to Reynosa, Mexico.

The deportation followed a missed immigration hearing in Houston, reportedly due to an emergency cesarean section.

Cristina Salazar, a 23-year-old mother of four, was arrested along with her children during what was supposed to be a routine meeting to discuss her case, KHOU reported.

Her husband, Federico Arellano Jr., a U.S. citizen, described the heartbreaking scene as his children cried and were forcibly separated from him. Salazar’s attorneys argued the missed hearing was a “technical violation” that should have been easily resolved.

“They were treated as if they were high-risk criminals,” a family attorney said in a news release.

KHOU reported:

The family said they called the immigration court to let them know what was going on and claimed to have been told over the phone that the hearing would be rescheduled. They said they got a call back to show up at a location in the Greenspoint area to talk about their case, but when they showed up, the mother and kids were arrested.

“The issue of Cristina missing her court hearing was a technical violation that could have been resolved,” a family attorney said.

Arellano Jr., a United States citizen, was there and tried to explain what happened, attorneys said. He said he was threatened by ICE agents if he interfered. He said his children were crying as they and Salazar were taken into custody.
