From MSNBC.

As federal immigration raids surged across Minneapolis and St. Paul, the consequences landed inside a single car near Powderhorn Park, where Elvis Tipan-Echeverría, an undocumented migrant from Ecuador, clutched his 2-year-old daughter, Chloe Tipan Villacis, as agents shattered his window and arrested them. Watched helplessly by her mother, Nicole Villacis, from inside their home, Chloe was detained by federal agents, processed alongside her father, and flown to Texas before a judge ordered her release — a sequence that Tipan- Echeverría’s attorneys say violated the law and deepened lasting trauma. Chloe’s 27 hours in custody, filled with fear, confusion, and repeated cries for her mother, reflect a broader national trend as an independent analysis by The Marshall Project shows child detention under Trump has surged dramatically. For the Tipan-Villacis family, the experience marked the end of any sense of safety in the U.S., prompting a decision to return to Ecuador so their daughter will never again be caught in the machinery of immigration enforcement.
