Disgusting Smear': Trump Admin Disputes Report ICE Used 5-Year-Old Daughter as Bait
"Her husband, Edward Hip Mejia, drove home and managed to run back into the parking lot of my house, but they grabbed their daughter, she added. Mejia is originally from Guatemala and has lived in the United States for about 25 years, according to his wife, who asked that her name not be published. The pair share two children who were born in the U.S., she said."
"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs, a man who appears to be an immigration agent can be heard saying in the video. Hey, I can give it through the door, Mejia is heard saying in response. The agent then points to the ground in front of himself and tells Mejia he can give the ID to him right here."
"Absolutely not. ICE agents NEVER used a 5-year-old girl as bait'what a disgusting smear. The criminal illegal alien target with previous arrests for domestic abuse and strangulation, among other chargesABANDONED his own child in a car, she began. The target, Edwards Hip Mejia, ignored law enforcement emergency lights to pull over and drove back to his house. He fled from the car, gave officers the double middle finger, and darted inside his house. He abandoned his 5-year-old daughter in the car."
A report alleged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement used a 5-year-old autistic girl as bait to pressure her father to surrender in Massachusetts. Edward Hip Mejia called his wife saying he believed he was being followed while driving with their daughter; his wife said he drove home, ran back into a parking lot, and authorities grabbed their daughter. Mejia is originally from Guatemala and has lived in the United States about 25 years; the couple share two U.S.-born children. Video appears to show agents coaxing Mejia out of his Leominster home and asking to see IDs. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied the allegation, described it as a smear, and accused Mejia of abandoning the child and fleeing; officers helped rescue the child.
