A 5 year-old girl is surrounded by her mother and two older sisters at their home in Leominster, MA on September 23, 2025. The girls’ mother, Jeannette, said that immigration agents held her youngest daughter, who has autism, in their driveway to lure the girls’ father outside. Video shows armed agents towering over the girl. “You’re more than welcome to come pick her up,” one tells her father, Edwards Hip Mejia, who had run into the house as agents pursued him. The girl was eventually brought to a police station, where she was later picked up by her grandmother. The mother requested only her middle name be published and her daughter’s name not be used to protect their privacy.
