Vance weighing in on some of the misinformation out there on this case yesterday.

DHS writing on X, quote, ICE did not target, arrest a child or use a child as bait.

Finally, ICE catching the father, who DHS says decided he wanted the child to remain with him.

Officers abided by the father's wishes, even getting the child McDonald's and playing his favorite music for him.

DHS explaining that parents have the choice to keep their children with them upon removal,

or to have them placed with a safe person of the parent's choosing, consistent with the policy of past administrations.

DHS also allows parents being removed to use the CBP Home app, which gives them a free flight back to their native country and $2,600, and reserves them the right to try and come back the legal way.

Late yesterday, the family's attorney, claiming that the family, from Ecuador, has been seeking asylum through the protocol established by the Biden administration.

Proper asylum seekers are not technically considered illegal immigrants.

We asked DHS about that claim, and they referred us to their earlier statement, which refers to this man as an illegal immigrant, presumably disagreeing with the assertions about asylum.

Hospital officials telling the detectives they could not enter the emergency room while armed...

Hospital staff then approaching the second detective in the waiting room, instructing him to leave because he was armed.

At that point, the NYPD tells the Post, quote,
