New Zealand mother and her 6-year-old son detained by ICE at US-Canada border

Sarah Shaw and her son were detained due to a visa renewal delay despite proper paperwork for the child; a GoFundMe raised nearly $64,000 for their release efforts.

  • New Zealander Sarah Shaw and her 6-year-old son Isaac were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the US-Canada border on July 24 due to an issue with Shaw's visa renewal.
  • Shaw and her son were taken to a family detention center in Texas, where Shaw is confined to a cell except for 8am-8pm, and has difficulty communicating with her lawyer.
  • There is a 90% chance Shaw and her son will be released on Thursday, August 15th at 3pm, though her friend Besancon says Isaac is being held illegally as he has the right paperwork.
