Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

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.
