State Abandons Teen at Border | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico’s Attorney General is suing the state’s child welfare agency after accusing it of abandoning a 15-year-old U.S. citizen at the border—essentially forcing him into Mexico to meet a mother with a history of abuse and deportation. The teen was taken into custody for alleged abuse, then abruptly released to the border with no safeguards, allegedly told to cross alone. When he tried to return, authorities allegedly blocked him, and CYFD refused to take him back after Texas picked him up. The AG is demanding immediate reforms, a court order to return the teen safely, and an end to unlawful removals—calling for accountability and protection for vulnerable youth.
