Sewickley father detained by ICE as daughter begins cancer treatment
Overview
Immigration authorities detained a Sewickley father two days before his 6-year-old daughter, Maria, was scheduled to begin treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, leaving the family scrambling to manage the child's medical care. Advocates say this case is part of a broader controversy over enforcement practices, while officials defended arrests by citing violent-offender cases. Reports of at least 14 measles cases at a large detention facility and the recent detention and repatriation of an 86-year-old widow—who relatives say arrived in Paris in a stained, torn detention uniform—have intensified calls for alternative custody or compassionate arrangements for detainees with serious health or family needs.
