ICE said Friday that a report by a Telemundo station in Puerto Rico about a family being detained in Milwaukee was "completely false."

The rumor circulated at the same time as reports of ICE raids in Puerto Rican and Dominican communities in New Jersey.

A toddler, his mother, and his grandmother—all American citizens—were detained and taken to an immigration detention center by U.S. officials in Milwaukee after they were overheard speaking Spanish, according to a Monday report by Telemundo Puerto Rico.

Elected officials and Milwaukee immigration advocates say they are working to authenticate the incident but have few details to go on.

A Puerto Rican family, including a toddler, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Milwaukee after being overheard speaking Spanish; this incident is the latest in a surge of racial profiling concerns amid Trump's immigration crackdown.
