----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, a video has gone viral of Border Patrol
agents ripping a woman away from her three daughters and forcibly
detaining her in San Diego, California. The video, which has now been
viewed nearly 8 million times, shows the agents detaining Perla
Morales-Luna and forcing her into a Border Patrol car as her daughters
scream and call for their mom. The video was uploaded by one of the
girls' teachers. Border Patrol says Morales-Luna was arrested for being
in the country without authorization.
