Two days later, Heidy Sánchez was flown to Cuba after being detained without communication. According to Claudia Cañizares, her attorney, she continues to breastfeed her kid, who has seizures.
Cañizares claimed that she attempted to submit documentation to ICE on Thursday morning to challenge the deportation.
But ICE rejected it, claiming that Sánchez had already left, even though she doesn’t believe that to be the case.
According to Cañizares, she informed ICE that she intended to reopen Sánchez’s case in order to assist her in lawfully remaining in the United States.
However, ICE informed her that Sánchez may continue the case while she was in Cuba. “Honestly, I don’t care,” Cañizares remarked, “I think they’re following orders that they need to remove a certain amount of people by day.”
According to Cañizares, Sánchez has a compelling humanitarian case for being allowed to remain in the United States and is not a criminal.
