A New Zealander resident in the United States, detained by ICE as she tried to re-enter America from Canada, is still waiting to hear the fate of her 6-year-old son Isaac.

Sarah Shaw and the boy were transported away at the border after taking her two other children to catch a flight in Vancouver on July 24, which was taking them to visit their grandparents in New Zealand.
