A New Zealand mother and her 6-year-old son released from US immigration custody after being detained for weeks

Sarah Shaw and her son were detained over an expired travel permit despite valid documents, highlighting immigration enforcement impacts on lawful residents, attorney said.

  • A New Zealand mother and her 6-year-old son were detained for weeks by US immigration after a brief trip to Canada due to an expired travel permit.
  • Sarah Shaw, a legal US resident since 2021, made a mistake when renewing her paperwork and believed her travel authorization was also renewed, resulting in her detention upon re-entry.
  • Shaw's attorney stated that border officials had discretion to grant humanitarian parole instead of detention, calling it inappropriate and inhumane to detain the mother and child.
