“You Kidnapped My Son”
Luis, a Venezuelan immigrant detained in a Texas immigration center, desperately tried to locate his 11-year-old son Andrés after being separated during his arrest. The two had arrived in the U.S. together in 2023, but Andrés was taken by ICE officers to a detention facility near El Paso. Despite Luis's pleas, the officers removed Andrés, claiming he would be placed in contact with his father. However, three days passed without communication, and Andrés was not listed in ICE's detainee database. Eventually, Luis learned that Andrés had been transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which classifies non-accompanied minors as those without parents or guardians in the U.S. Although Andrés was not unaccompanied, ICE mistakenly categorized him as such, leading to his placement in temporary foster care. Andrés expressed feelings of betrayal upon learning the truth.
"You Kidnapped My Son" Luis, a Venezuelan man detained at the Camp East Montana immigration facility in El Paso, Texas, described how he was forced to watch as ICE agents took his 11-year-old son, Andrés, from him in April. Luis and Andrés had arrived in the U.S. in 2023 and were arrested together when federal agents came to Luis's home. After being held in a cell for hours, ICE officers removed Andrés from the facility, despite Luis's pleas. According to Luis, the agents assured him that Andrés would remain in contact, leading him to reluctantly let go of his son. Luis remained in detention for three days without any word from Andrés. His family, including Andrés' mother and stepmother, also failed to obtain any information about the boy's location. Andrés did not appear in ICE's online detainee database, adding to the confusion. Eventually, Luis learned that ICE had transferred Andrés to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which handles unaccompanied minor migrants. Despite arriving with his father, Andrés was mistakenly classified as unaccompanied, resulting in his placement in temporary foster care with another Texas family. Andrés expressed feelings of betrayal, according to a lawyer who worked on his case. He believed the government had misled him, claiming that he had been promised to stay with his father. Luis, still in detention, felt anger toward ICE, accusing them of kidnapping his son. This situation echoes the practices of the previous Trump administration, which implemented a zero tolerance policy in 2018 that led to the separation of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border. Under this policy, children were placed in ORR custody while their parents were detained separately. This approach drew widespread criticism for its inhumane nature. Separately, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Houston resident, was shot dead by ICE agents who claimed he used his vehicle as a weapon. His death has sparked demands for justice within the Latino community in Texas.
