"Haitian boy, 9, detained as Trump's family separation policy pursued to bitter end
In the final hours of the Trump presidency, immigration officials detained a nine year-old Haitian boy with a valid US visa, separated him from his elder brother and incarcerated him, according to lawyers and activists.
Vladimir Fardin arrived in San Francisco from Haiti on Sunday, on a tourist visa. He was travelling with his 19-year-old brother, Christian Laporte, who has been studying in Diablo Valley College outside San Francisco, and had a valid students visa, according to lawyers acting for him.
...
They were detained by border officials at San Francisco airport and held for two days without being allowed to contact family, lawyers or community organisations. On Tuesday morning, they were separated.
Nine-year old Vladimir was sent to a refugee resettlement facility in southern California as an unaccompanied minor, and Christian was deported to Mexico, apparently because that was where their connecting flight from Santo Domingo was from.
As of Tuesday evening, Vladimir had not been allowed to contact, or be contacted by, his family or any support groups."....(more depraved cruelty at link)
Hopefully this can be rectified immediately now that human beings with hearts, minds, and souls are once again in charge.
