Mom, Son Detained for Paperwork Error | JQJO

A Washington mother and her six-year-old son spent over three weeks in US immigration detention after a minor paperwork error. Sarah Shaw, a New Zealand citizen with legal US residency, was detained at a border checkpoint due to an expired travel permit. Despite having valid immigration documents for her son and attempts to secure humanitarian parole, her requests were denied. The family was transferred to a Texas detention center, highlighting concerns about the Trump-era immigration policies' impact on lawful residents. Shaw, who faces potential delays in her master's program, awaits release.
