Mississippi ICE Raids Separate Mom From Her Breastfeeding Baby Girl: The mother “had this lost look,” an immigrant rights advocate told The Clarion Ledger after a visit. “She doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring.”

The massive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Mississippi food-processing plants earlier this month has separated a young mother from her nursing 4-month-old daughter, the Clarion Ledger reports.

The mom, arrested at Koch Foods in Morton, where she had worked for four years, is now being held in a Louisiana facility while her husband cares for the couple’s three children and continues to work. He faces his own deportation hearing, but not until 2021, according to the Ledger, which didn’t reveal the identities of the parents, who fear reprisals.

All three children, who were born in the U.S., are American citizens.
