- Charlotte mothers file claims against DHS after viral immigration arrest; attorney says lawsuit could follow
Two Charlotte mothers, Tatyana Reisini and Kristen Roos, filed claims against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after their arrests during a 2025 immigration operation went viral. Their attorney claims the government is legally responsible for the alleged physical and emotional harm they suffered during the incident, which led to dismissed criminal charges in 2026. The women seek $1.2 million in damages each and may file a lawsuit if DHS does not respond within six months.
