Part of situation: San Diego Haitian minor federal custody case (2 clusters)

San Diego school district protests ICE custody of 8-year-old Haitian boy

ICE custody San Diego Unified School District Haitian Bridge Alliance unaccompanied minor Temporary Protected Status

An 8-year-old Haitian boy was taken into federal custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in San Diego, California, following a scheduled immigration appointment. The child, a third-grade student at Fay Elementary School, had been living with his uncle and cousins since his father was deported to Mexico last year.

According to the San Diego Unified School District and the Haitian Bridge Alliance, the boy's uncle accompanied him to the meeting to comply with legal requirements. However, ICE officials designated the child as an unaccompanied minor under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act because the uncle could not establish formal legal guardianship. Consequently, the child was transferred to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Advocates and school officials have criticized the decision, noting that the uncle was listed as an authorized caregiver in school records. Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, have requested information regarding the child's whereabouts and safety. The boy had previously held Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was recently terminated following a Supreme Court decision.
