Missing non-verbal teen with autism reportedly in ICE custody:

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who'd been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

It's the thing parents of autistics have nightmares about. I hope the other detainees are looking out for each other.
