An 8-year-old boy—living with his uncle after his father was deported—showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment because his family wanted to follow the law. ICE took him into federal custody and separated him from his family. This is the cruelty of mass deportation and the Trump administration’s immigration policy. It violates our values and who we are as a nation. America deserves better. op: @kpbs

Senator, his father was deported in March 2025. The uncle never had legal custody. Under federal law that makes him an unaccompanied minor, and that sends him to HHS shelter care, not an ICE cell. The uncle can apply to sponsor him today. Tell people the whole story.
