The story quoted the 5-year-old’s mother as saying: “They took my daughter, she’s 5-years-old. She has autism spectrum. … Give me my daughter back.”
The woman, who asked not to be identified, told an NBC affiliate that her husband “managed to run back into the parking lot of my house, but they grabbed” the 5-year-old.

“Video shows ICE with 5-year-old girl while agents attempt to arrest her father,” an updated post on X reads. “Correction: An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the activities of ICE agents in the video. The article has been updated.”
The updated version explains that the illegal alien refused to comply with law enforcement officials and, in fleeing, abandoned his own daughter in the presence of law enforcement officials.

As The Federalist previously reported, two individuals were killed on Wednesday with a third injured after a gunman opened fire on an ICE transportation vehicle in Dallas. Investigators announced that rounds found near the shooter — who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound — were inscribed with anti-ICE messaging. Notably, there was a bomb threat at the same facility last month, according to DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin.
The Dallas attack underscores the danger of reckless smears.
Update: DHS initially said that two detainees were killed in the attack. After publication, the department corrected this information, saying, as of Wednesday afternoon, that only one detainee was killed and two others are in critical condition.
