A 16-year-old girl, Emely Suaza Chambo, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while on her way to church, according to U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro. Castro stated that ICE informed Emely’s father, Fernando Suaza Ortiz, to pick her up or she would be sent out of state. When Suaza Ortiz arrived, he was also detained.
Both Emely and her father are being held at the Dilley detention facility, and their asylum case is pending. KSAT reached out to ICE for comment, and this story will be updated once a response is received.
