An 8-year-old Haitian boy was taken into federal custody during an ICE check-in on November 5, 2026. The boy, who lost Temporary Protected Status earlier this year, was with a man claiming to be his uncle but could not prove legal guardianship. The San Diego Unified School District has raised concerns about the impact of such actions on children and families, citing the trauma and educational disruption caused by separations. Advocates argue that the removal of the boy from his uncle's care was unnecessary, as he was well-cared for and had been living with his uncle since his father's deportation to Mexico. The boy remains in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and it is unclear if he will be removed from the U.S.
