Mother and child held in notorious Rio Grande Valley detention centre despite presenting visa, family says
A Canadian mother and her seven-year-old daughter, who has autism, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas since Saturday, family members have said.
Relatives of Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas say they were detained unlawfully. They are uncertain about what problem ICE found with their immigration paperwork.
Tania Warner and her daughter are both Canadians, with Warner originally from British Columbia. The Canadian broadcaster CTV News reported that they are being held at the notorious Rio Grande Valley Central processing centre in McAllen, Texas.
Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.
I mean, they will be killing autistic people in camps in masses very soon. Might as well start now is their mentality.
i mean they are moving pregnant underage girls raped by ICE in the detention facilities to a 'breeding facility"
I feel like most people have a mother, what a weird thing to call out.
/s, I hope obviously
Phew! It’s a GOOD thing ICE is going after
Criminals!Pedophiles!Illegals!Autistic CHILDREN!-Republicans!
Just another example of how trumps America is 1940’s nazi germany. Purge everyone that is not pure Arian. Can’t wait for the 21st century Nuremberg trials
This is how RFK is waging his war on autism.
How quickly the American attention span goes to the next shiny object. Remember when Robbie Junior was sporting a woody over the idea of sending autistic people to labor camps?
I don’t understand why anyone would willingly move to the U.S in the last 20 years. It’s a total shithole and the food is bad.
total shithole
Hard to ironically quote Trump without picking up his pernicious tendencies. Like, blaming victims to distract from the real root of problems (the US government and all of its agents who did this).

~100k usd annually. You’re from somewhere worse. You couldn’t get into NZ, etc…
Hyperbolic 20 years lol
~100k usd annually.
Not sure what you’re representing, here. Income? Is that how the dow is 50-thousand?
You’re from somewhere worse.
Is that ad-hominem or are you suggesting a motivation for moving to America? Because moving from “someplace worse” is actually the reason everyone moves; for varying criteria but that’s the reason.
You couldn’t get into NZ, etc…
Again, not sure whether this is stating motivation; is that the intent?
Hyperbolic 20 years
This is an odd thing to point out.
lol
Ah! You were a pre-teen back then. I get it now.
Reasons people would have moved to the US in the past 20 years 🤡
They really got your millennial ass by pointing out you were young 20 years ago hahaha
You’ve apparently never been to Louisiana. The only good thing about it is the food.
But God damn is the food fucking good…
As is most of the food around the US that isn’t just hyper processed shit from the store. People in the US make some damn good food
Indeed, big leopardseatmyface vibes in this story.
Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.
Seems like she probably moved to the US to be with her husband.
God forbid couples would want to be together.
Meh the US hate on this platform is supercharged so it’ll just keep going like this
I mean some parts of it are valid but people are just terrible people sometimes
Yeah it’s kinda gross to look at this situation and immediately blame the mother here.
I guess since the other overwhelming hatred here on this site is for women, this makes sense.
Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.
You tell me why the commenters in here are thirsting so hard to blame the mother who has been detained along with her daughter.
How much do you want to bet that her husband voted for Trump? She probably would’ve too.
You don’t know that.
This woman and her daughter are going through a terrible time right now and you want to blame her instead of our fascist government. Why?
Why are you insisting on placing blame on this woman?
Tania Warner is from Penticton, B.C. and met her husband through TikTok about five years ago. The long-distance romance quickly blossomed after she visited Edward in Texas.
Six months after that trip, Tania moved to Texas. Another six months passed and the couple — he’s a tattoo artist, she’s a fitness and nutrition coach — were married.
They had a quiet and loving life, the husband said. Tania was going through the process to get a green card, which required her to spend thousands of dollars and undergo a criminal record check.
Edward said his wife has no criminal history and has kept her immigration paperwork up to date. He said he still hasn’t been told why his wife and Ayla were taken into custody.
“I have no idea what’s going on,” he said.
Do you know what “how much do you want to bet” implies? Should I imply it harder? Do you need your rhetorical question answered? I’m just curious.
Seriously though, of course I don’t know, but I do have a real funny intuition about this sort of thing that works in some really interesting ways. Sometimes it’s wrong, granted, but a lot of the time it’s right.
There’s just something about the level of “surprise” they seem to be exhibiting in their comments about what happened to them. I feel like people who are more aware of what ICE is and has been doing are likely going to sound somewhat less surprised than the people who voted for it thinking it would only happen to brown people and not to them.
I think their surprise at being detained is because she had a valid work permit and visa.
Not everyone in Texas is MAGA.
The rush for people to blame the woman in this story reeks of something else to me.
Does it reek of anger? Is that the something else? Because I’m pretty fucking angry about what ICE is doing, and I find it pretty hard to believe that any people (who have some level of consciousness and aren’t MAGA) in Texas, literally a border state with the second highest number of immigrants in the entire US, don’t have any clue that ICE is regularly arresting people who have valid work permits and visa, were the first few hundred thousand not a clue?
In my experience, the people who are surprised about this tend to be the people who knew it was happening (how can you NOT know it’s happening at this point?) but just never thought it would actually happen to them.
Likewise, the surprise here reeks of something else to me. The surprise reeks of “How could this happen to me? I’m white”
“Why don’t you pursue a diagnosis?”
Why the hell would anybody choose to move from British Columbia to Texas? What a downgrade.
She moved to be with her husband.
What a shithole. Let me guess, she is white, conservative and never thought the leopards would eat her face.
She’s certainly white.
So they are detaining white people legally here on work visas. Cool. So, is this Phase II? Next is any white person, “indiscriminately”, I take it?
Also worth mentioning that her autistic 7 year old daughter didn’t vote for this and her face is being eaten, too.
They have shot white people dead already.
Yes but they were protesters.
Not excusing it, not at all, just different circumstances.
Do you think this is where the fascist gestapo evolution of violence starts, or stops?
Neither. I think we are in step 2 or 3 by now.
Exactly
They’ve killed white people in ICE detention as well.
She wouldn’t have voted for it either - she’s not a citizen.
Neither of them voted for this.
Yes well existing in the country means we deserve it according to people on this platform now
according to some people on this platform now
But your point is well taken
Are you putting a stop to it? “Deserve” is not the right word. I would say all Americans are in some manner “responsible” for your current state, either from action, or inaction.
I never said voted. I’m speculating that she is conservative.
Some states allow documented immigrants to cast ballots for state and local office but not federal.
Probably not Texas. But in some states she could be a maga voter.
Penticton leans 50-50. She could have supported our centre-left in the last election, but she’d’ve been a rarity as they were savaged strategically to get the centrist instead of the conservative wank. (Because it may suck, but that’s how we fucking do Harm Reduction, kids)
There’s still no evidence that this woman is a case of face-eating leopards and the blame should be on the US government. Not the woman who is currently being detained with her young daughter.
A Canadian living in Texas in this day and age? What did you think was going to happen? In case anyone is slow getting the message - Get the fuck out now.
