Jail won’t let (undocumented) mother pump milk – Pastor says inmate’s baby spits up formula and cries constantly || Madre encarcelada prohibida de extraer leche para su bebé – Mujer de Brasil acusada de robo, violación de inmigración – North Carolina

A Brazilian woman, held in the Mecklenburg County jail since Friday on an immigration violation, is not being allowed to provide breast milk for her son, who is less than 2 months old.

Ezequiel Oliveira, who is helping care for the woman’s two children, said he spent hours at the jail Monday trying to get a breast pump to 29-year-old Danielle Ferreira. He said Ferreira’s baby, Samuel, is crying incessantly and keeps spitting up baby formula.

“We give him formula and put in the pacifier but he is crying day and night, day and night, all the time,” Oliveira said.
