DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said agents tried to stop the car, which was registered to the woman, with their sirens and emergency lights activated, but a male driver "refused to pull the vehicle over."
She said ICE pursued the car before the driver "sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle. They ran into a daycare and attempted to barricade themselves inside the daycare - recklessly endangering the children inside."
McLaughlin said the woman was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school. She also claimed the woman "lied about her identity," but didn't specify how.
She said "facts including criminality and information on the male assailant are forthcoming."
“I’m seeking asylum because my life is in danger”
Reality is she probably just wants a higher strand of living, and some free stuff. It’s common practice for NGOs to tell them to say that before reaching the border.
She wasn’t a daycare worker, she fled into the daycare while the police were chasing her.
