Ursula calls for due process amid ICE raids
A 5-year-old boy arriving home from preschool was taken by federal agents, along with his father, to a detention facility in Texas, The Associated Press reported Thursday. The boy was allegedly used as bait so agents could find his father.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated the father is in the U.S. illegally and asked for the child to stay with him, but Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik said the family has an active asylum case and had not been ordered to leave the country.
In the wake of the incident, KIRO host Ursula Reutin underscored the importance of due process.
