U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detained the wife of Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre last month in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, impacting the family’s dynamics.
Mrs. Clouatre, who was breastfeeding her 3-month-old baby at the time of her detention, leaves Adrian struggling to explain her absence to their children.
The couple’s nearly 2-year-old son, Noah, frequently asks for his mother, prompting Adrian to reassure him that “Mama will be back soon.”
The situation has drawn attention to the impact of immigration enforcement actions on families, particularly on young children and breastfeeding infants.
