ICE Separates Mother from Breastfeeding Baby After Arrest at Routine Green Card Appointment

HeadlineJun 24, 2025

A Marine Corps veteran is pleading for his wife’s release from ICE detention after officers arrested her during a routine green card appointment in May. Adrian Clouatre’s wife, Paola Clouatre, is being held at an ICE jail in Monroe, Louisiana, separated from her nearly 2-year-old child and 3-month-old baby, whom Paola was still breastfeeding when she was taken by ICE. Paola was brought to the U.S. from Mexico as a child by her mom to seek asylum. She had begun the green card process in 2024 after she married Adrian, a U.S. citizen.
