'Breastfeeding' woman who claims ICE separated from child - charged with identity fraud Posted: Aug 22nd, 2019 - 5:27 am
A migrant woman is facing felony charges after a medical examination disputed her claim that she was separated from her child while breastfeeding.
Maria Domingo-Garcia was indicted in federal court Tuesday and charged with knowingly using another individual’s social security number, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
Domingo-Garcia claimed that after being arrested on Aug. 7 during a massive immigration sweep in Mississippi, she was unable to breastfeed her baby because of her detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In a CNN reportpublished Monday, one of Domingo-Garcia’s lawyers, Juliana Manzanarez, said her client was in pain.
“She is still really depressed. She is in a lot of pain because of not being able to pump or breastfeed,” Manzanarez said.
ICE said they conducted a medical exam after the claims got national attention and found that she was not lactating, an indication that she was likely not breastfeeding her child when arrested days earlier.
