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.
