- Six Democratic officials questioned the decision in a letter to Congress.
- DHS said his uncle could not establish legal guardianship.

## Summary

An eight-year-old Haitian boy was taken into US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after attending a routine immigration appointment in San Diego on 4 November. The case has drawn concern from six Democratic officials, who wrote to Congress questioning the decision and its potential impact on the child.

The boy, a third-grade pupil, had been living with relatives after his father was deported in 2025, according to the Haitian Bridge Alliance. The group says he was separated from his cousins and uncles and transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The Department of Homeland Security said his uncle could not establish legal guardianship, so ICE treated him as an unaccompanied minor and said it acted to protect his safety; his Temporary Protected Status had ended earlier in 2026.
