FIFE, WA (AP) — Court records say five boys at an immigration detention center in Fife escaped earlier this year after two of them assaulted guards and stole a key.
The breakout happened at the Selma Carson Home, a 23-bed medium-security facility that houses boys who are in the country alone and going through federal immigration proceedings.
The boys remain at large following their June 17 escape.
Charging papers say a 17-year-old called a guard that day and sprayed the woman in the face with a fire extinguisher. Simultaneously, another 17-year-old sprayed another guard with a fire extinguisher.
One of the teens grabbed a key card locked on a guard’s wrist and yanked until the chord broke. They then used the key to escape.
