Boy’s ‘discouraging trauma’ leads judge to block 9-year-old immigrant’s transfer to fifth home
Ricardo de Anda, a Texas lawyer, with Byron Xol, 9, a migrant who was separated from his father in May 2018 while the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy was in effect.
Byron’s case is unfolding in federal court in Brownsville as children are becoming the fastest-rising cohort of border apprehensions. Federal officials have not provided a full accounting of their data, but an official familiar with U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics said that about half the family members are children, while a smaller number of children are crossing on their own.
Byron’s lawyer, Ricardo de Anda, says he plans to ask the judge Monday to release the boy to a family designated by his parents.Such cases present a deep quandary for the U.S. government as officials try to handle an influx of children, navigate court cases, find shelters and foster homes and attempt to get children to their parents, some of whom have been deported.
But without consequences, officials say, migrant families will continue streaming toward the United States because they often are released into the country within days of applying for asylum, in part because of a lack of space in U.S. detention centers. Family members account for about 136,000 border apprehensions this fiscal year, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has only about 3,000 family detention beds.
Child-welfare advocates say children struggling with poverty and violence in Central America encounter new traumas in the U.S. immigration system, such as cold and crowded detention cells and shelters.
