Americans can breath easy: a major terrorist threat has been averted in the nick of time. When Federal agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided a home in Conneaut, Ohio, they didn’t find the man they were looking for but something much worse: A 27-year-old Honduran woman breast feeding her 9-month old daughter. Indecent exposure in the guise of nursing was just one of her crimes. Saida Umanzor was an alien who had illegally entered the country. Face to face with this duplicitous and dangerous alien, the ICE officials did what any patriots who care about national security and love America would do: they took Umanzor’s 9 month old daughter from her mother’s breast, placed her and her sister in social services, and arrested and jailed Umanzor.

For the eleven days Umanzor was in jail, she was barred from seeing her three children including the baby Brittney who, because she had never eaten anything other than breast milk, ate nothing for three days. Because Umanzor was unable to nurse and express her milk, she experienced painful breast engorgement.

Saida Umanzor, her five-year-old son, and her husband are all under house arrest and await deportation. Brittney and her sister, both born in the U.S.A, will be allowed to stay and live the American Dream their relatives parents and brother don’t deserve.

Because of totally unwarranted outrage around the story, ICE changed its policy on the treatment of nursing women. Luckily ICE isn’t totally capitulating to the immigrantista agenda. An ICE spokeswoman explained: “Parents are putting their children in these difficult situations.” Umanzor put her child in this dangerous situation the second she put her at her breast. If only people who risked their lives entering the country, in part, perhaps, to give their children a better lives, would stop being so selfish and start thinking about their children.
