Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family.
A video of the incident, obtained by Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra, shows a young girl surrounded by what appears to be several male law enforcement agents outside of her home in Leominster, Massachusetts, last Tuesday.
The girl is sitting beside what appears to be a law enforcement SUV and holding a bottle while encircled by the several men, according to the video.
The video appears to then show authorities trying to coax the girl's father out of his Leominster, Massachusetts home.
"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," a man who appears to be an immigration agent can be heard saying in the video.
"Hey, I can give it through the door," Hip is heard saying in response.
The agent then points to the ground in front of himself and tells Hip he can give the ID to him “right here.”
NBC Boston reported that local police then arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to her family. She is doing well, her mom told Telemundo.
Authorities came back to the home two days later to and detained Hip, according to his wife. He is currently being held at an ICE detention center in Plymouth, she said.
