The woman lives in America with a work visa, and she has two children working with the US Army as members of the National Guard.
She did not go to the ICE detention centre alone, as she appeared there with her military sons, Axel and Andres Reyes.
The two military men appeared in their uniforms as they walked behind their mother.
According to them, they feared that their mother could be detained, and they wouldn't be there for her.
One of them, Andres Reyes said, per the Chicago Sun Times:
“We fear her being detained and us not being there. We can’t really do anything about it or get involved in that, but we just always want to be with her.”
A few hours later, their mother was let go and was not detained.
A video posted by MSNBC, showing when they arrived at the detention facility, now has millions of views on TikTok.
