On Monday, January 5, APD officers responded to a disturbance call at 4:35 a.m. in the 6100 block of Blue Stem Trail, a West Oak Hill Austin neighborhood, according to a statement from police. Although they found no ongoing disturbance, officers identified a woman with an Administrative Warrant issued by ICE.

APD officers notified ICE, under its Detainer Request policy, GO 318.3.4, and federal authorities arrived and took custody of the woman and her child. The incident caused many Austin community members to question APD's involvement in ICE cases as fears of heightened federal immigration operations continue to ramp up across Texas and the U.S.

"Given APD's role in the separation of Génesis and her family, the Austin community deserves immediate transparency from the Austin Police Department," the group said.
