Trenton Family of Six, Including Four Children, Held at Dilley Past Flores Limit, Lawyer Says

Haitian father Fanfan Examont, his wife and their four children, ages 3 to 14, were detained September 17 at a check-in at ICE’s Mt. Laurel office and sent the next day to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley. Their lawyer, Rachel Marandett of the American Friends Service Committee, says their 50 days in detention exceed the Flores Settlement’s 20-day limit for children; the father has epilepsy and was hospitalized after a seizure. A habeas petition was filed October 28 in federal court in San Antonio.
