A 6-year-old boy disappeared inside a federal building🤬
ICE tore Yuanxin from his father during a routine check-in, and now the government can’t, or won’t, say where he is. A child, vanished. The ultimate cruelty.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
