Role at the time: Attorney on the family's legal team
Statement summary
Morrison said it is shameful that Secretary Rubio takes the position that children should be held accountable for the acts of their parents and grandparents.
“It is shameful that Secretary Rubio takes the position that children should be held accountable for the acts of their parents and grandparents”
Reporting source on family detention at Dilley. It is used to attribute remarks by the family’s attorney and to provide reported detention context; it does not resolve the underlying legal dispute.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)The reference point is whether ICE detained the family for what the children's grandmother did. Morrison calls it "shameful that Secretary Rubio takes the position that children should be held accountable for the acts of their parents and grandparents", treating the detention as punishment for relatives' acts. That denounces the action, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Challenged characterization; it loses because he condemns the position outright rather than only disputing how it is described.

Role at the time: Immigration attorney representing the family
Statement summary
Morrison challenged DHS's stated enforcement criteria by asking why the family had been detained for six months. His question presented their detention as ongoing.
“If what makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S., why have you detained Eissa Hashemi, his wife, and minor child in Texas now for 6 months?”
Morrison, an attorney for the family, questioned why DHS had detained Hashemi, his wife and their son for six months. He replied to a DHS thread about a separate New York shooting. His post reports ongoing detention as counsel; it does not establish a new court ruling.
The reference point is whether ICE detained the family for what Eissa Hashemi's mother did. Morrison asks DHS why, if enforcement turns on whether someone is illegally in the U.S., it has detained Hashemi, his wife and their minor child "in Texas now for 6 months". That disputes DHS's account of whom it targets as applied to this family, so we labeled it Challenged characterization. The closest competing label is Condemned; it loses because the post questions the stated criteria rather than expressly denouncing the detention.
