The apprehension by Immigration and Customs Enforcement of a brother and sister with pending asylum applications raises questions about the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts, human rights advocates say.
Pedro and Elizabeth – they asked that their real names not be used to protect their privacy – have pending asylum applications.

ICE agents have not produced a warrant or stated why the family was pulled over.
