A Canadian woman and her seven-year-old autistic daughter have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Texas since March 14, despite having valid employment authorization documents, prompting the mother to warn other immigrants to "lay low" during the Trump administration. The pair is being held at the Dilley immigration processing center while their lawyer seeks their release on a $15,000 bond, and Canadian authorities are exploring diplomatic avenues to secure their freedom.
