ICE Public Affair shared this statement with Spectrum News: Diana Briyith Socha-Torres, an illegal alien from Colombia, illegally entered the United States via the southern border on August 6, 2024. Under the Biden Administration, she was RELEASED into the country, unvetted. On April 27, 2026, an immigration judge issued her a final order of removal due to her failure to show up to her mandatory immigration hearing. She chose to bring her child with her back to Colombia. They will remain together. ICE does not separate families. Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administrations’ immigration enforcement. Being in detention is a choice. Parents can take control of their departure with the CBP Home app and reserve the chance to come back the right legal way. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.
