(KTLA) – a pregnant US citizen, which was detained by federal agents about two weeks ago, has since gave birth to a healthy girl, but her boyfriend is now not the state, and her problems have not ended.
Cary López Alvarad said the Nexstar KTLA that she “tried to stay strong” through a terrible ordeal that took place behind the building where her boyfriend and cousin worked on the maintenance work on June 8th. She was nine months pregnant at the time.

The video made by López depicts how she is fighting a disguised agent, carrying a border patrol uniform, asking her identity when she guarded her truck transporting her friend Brayan Nájer and Cousin Alberto Sandoval – the latter is also a US citizen.
All three were eventually detained. Other footage published in social media shows that agents holding López after they attached the truck between the wall.

“They already had my boyfriend on the ground, and they had divert my cousin … That’s when I was inside the car, just knocking on the door,” López said. ‘[I was asking] “What are you doing? Why do you guys treating us like that? We didn’t do anything wrong.”
According to a report by a representative of the Homeland Security Department, López was arrested because it obstructed representatives to enter the car with “two illegal foreigners”.
“The agents were attacked at the time of this event and the additional thing was taken to a custody for pushing the officer,” the report states.
The then mother was taken to a processing institution in San Pedro, where, she said, the agents automatically thought she was documented.
‘[They said] “But you from Mexico, right?” And I’m “no, I’m out of here,” said López. “[They asked] … “Where is it here?” And I like: “Here in the US, in Los Angeles.”
“They put us in the chains, so I had a chain out of my belly that went to my feet completely,” she added. “Occasionally, I would arrange my hands because I felt that I would do too much pressure because the chain was under my belly.”
López was released after a complacent stomach pain and went straight to the hospital, where she began to shrink, which she thought caused the stress of what she had survived.

Four days after the incident, she gave birth to a healthy girl, but the stress was not over yet because the baby’s father is said to have been detained in Texas, despite López says he has attention.
“He has no convictions or nothing,” she said. “They took it while working, and it hurts because he didn’t do anything wrong. He just worked and cared for his family. Why are you doing so when they are not criminals?”
“The color doesn’t matter, the race doesn’t matter … At the end of the day we are all human,” she continued through tears.

López’s legal team KTLA said she was not charged with any crime. Meanwhile, she will stay home with her new girl.
The Gofundme was set up to help López hire his boyfriend’s immigration lawyer and facilitate the costs of childcare in his absence.
