The Boston Globe and Mass Live reported Sunday that a 13-year-old was "arrested" by U.S. Customs and Enforcement agents in Everett, Massachusetts, and is now 500 miles away from his mother and family in a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.

According to the boy's lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, there was an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department, and the boy's mother was called to come and pick him up. However, when she went to the police department, after waiting, she was told that ICE had taken him, Josiele Berto told the Boston Globe in an interview

"The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States," the report said, citing the family's lawyer.

2. With all their battlefield kit and numbers you'd expect

Them to be rousting MS13 as promised. Instead they are going the coward route and rounding up children. Lots safer, got to be home for supper.

6. I've heard they have been letting actual criminals go

I'd guess they want them to commit a crime and be a news sensation for the midterms.

4. If they are Brazilians they may want to rethink requesting asylum here

Portugal would be a much better choice.
I don't know the story behind the asylum; but I do know killing and kidnapping children in Brazil is an absolute horrifying occurrence and it just does not happen.
It would be a national movement for retribution for any harm committed to minors.

On the other hand, it is now becoming a new life reality recently in the U.S.

Poor little fella. Hope he gets out of the detention asap.

5. What? Does the Trump administration have a daily cruelty strategy plan?

This little boy, so far from his family. He must be terrified. I wish I could help him. I wish I could hug him.

I ABHOR Trump. He’s a disgrace, a real POS.

7. If they have a pending asylum case

and are legally authorized to work in the U.S., then they are not "undocumented" and they aren't criminals.

Plus of course, he is just a kid. How do these people live with themselves?
