10-Year-Old Girl Seized by Federal Agents in Minnesota Freed from Texas ICE Jail

HeadlineFeb 05, 2026

On Wednesday, Minnesota teachers’ unions joined a pair of local school districts in a lawsuit to keep federal immigration agents off school property and away from bus stops. Some schools in the Twin Cities have seen up to half of all students remain home during ICE’s crackdown. The lawsuit came just after 10-year-old Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano walked free from an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas, alongside her mother, after they were seized by ICE nearly a month ago on their way to school in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights. She’s reportedly experiencing flu-like symptoms and has broken out with hives, prompting fears over her health amid an outbreak of measles at the Dilley ICE jail.
