A 2-year-old girl and her father were shipped from Minnesota to Texas within hours of being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, despite a judge’s order to release the child, court filings show.
The girl and her father, Elvis Joel Tipan Echeverria, both Ecuadorian nationals, were arrested in south Minneapolis around 1 p.m. Thursday, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson. Officials said the father and daughter’s detention happened in the course of a “targeted enforcement operation” and that they were removed from a parked car.
