A Queens mother and her 6-year-old daughter have been deported to Ecuador after being arrested by ICE at an immigration court in Manhattan last week.

State Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz joined "The Rush Hour" on Wednesday to discuss her work with the family's legal counsel and the Department of Education.
