Migrant Boy Found Wandering Alone Was Deported and Kidnapped
A young boy whose video was shared widely online was kidnapped and separated from his mother when his family couldn t pay for her release.
Wilton Obregon and his mother Meylin, Nicaragua natives, crossed the border to Texas last month to seek asylum. But despite the Biden administration’s insistence that a public health order allowing rapid expulsions wouldn’t apply to children, the 10-year-old and his mother were dismissed to Mexico. Wilton’s brother Misael says they were kidnapped hours after the expulsion. Misael got a call from the kidnappers demanding $10,000 for his mother and brother. Since Misael was only able to come up with $5,000, they released his brother and kept his mother. Wilton was abandoned across the border by the smugglers, and wandered through farmland in South Texas looking for help. He eventually ran into a Border Patrol agent, who recorded the encounter.

As the illegal immigration crisis continues to spiral out of control, President Joe Biden has appointed Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus to lead U.S. Customs and Border Protection. His lengthy career in public safety includes coming up through the ranks of the Lansing, Michigan Police Department, and serving as police chief in the cities of Fargo, North Dakota, Richmond, California, and Tucson, Arizona. In each of these cities Magnus developed a reputation as a progressive police leader who focused on relationship-building between the police and community, implementing evidence-based best practices, promoting reform, and insisting on police accountability, the White House released Monday. Because of Tucson’s proximity to the border, he has extensive experience in addressing immigration issues.
