Haitian boy, 8, detained during scheduled immigration appointment

Homeland Security said the uncle did not have legal custody, so it took the boy under a 2008 anti-human-trafficking law “out of an abundance of caution.”

An 8-year-old Haitian boy is in federal custody after showing up for a scheduled immigration appointment earlier this week.

The incident was documented on video Wednesday by Karen Pohl, a volunteer immigration court observer with the group Detention Resistance. She said she’s never seen someone that young being detained before.

“It was just — I couldn’t believe what I was seeing because I had never watched a child by himself get detained in that manner,” Pohl said.

    It’s not the first time, unfortunately. ICE has been camping out at immigration court to brutalize anyone they don’t like. They’ve even been targeting the judges:

    ICE is no different than the Gestapo. Anyone who supports them or works for them now would’ve had a Lee Einfeld pointed in their direction during WW2
