3 U.S. citizens arrested by ICE after being overheard speaking Spanish.

Toddler, mother and grandmother—all American citizens—were detained and taken to Milwaukee immigration detention center after they were overheard speaking Spanish.

English subtitles have been added to news interview a family member gave Telemundo Puerto Rico.

If the mother had not been able to produce 2 forms of identification for all 3 family members—including original birth certificates—they could have easily been deported on the next plane to Columbia.

Add shopping at the department store to the list of places where it's no longer safe to speak Spanish.

We reached out to ICE, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and local immigrant rights groups for confirmation of the story. Milwaukee Police Department said it was not aware of ICE activity in the city from Jan. 20 to Jan. 28 when Telemundo posted the story. Similarly, Mayor Cavalier Johnson's office said it had heard the story but had no specific information about it. We reached out to Milly Méndez, who reported the story for Telemundo, for further details about how the news outlet confirmed the reported events. We could not locate Telemundo's anonymous source to independently confirm the story.
