Advocates Try to Stop ICE From Locking Up Child Migrants

On Thursday, we told you about a mother and her son who waded across the Rio Grande to escape death threats in El Salvador. If the boy had crossed the border alone, the government would have sent him to stay with a relative in California. But because the boy came with his mom, ICE locked them up. Immigration authorities started detaining families last summer to manage a spike in Central American migrants. But advocates say locking up children violates a decades-old agreement. They're making that case next month in a federal court in Los Angeles.
