A New Mexico attorney general is suing the state’s child welfare agency after a 15-year-old with a heart condition was allegedly sent alone across the border to reunite with his deported mother — only to be abandoned in Mexico. The teen, who had been living with godparents and was placed in foster care after their guardianship ended, was reportedly told to cross into Texas without adult supervision. Despite U.S. Customs urging his return, the agency allegedly refused, calling him “a Texas problem.” The lawsuit accuses the agency of neglect, failure to assess risks, and ignoring the teen’s medical needs — while the agency claims the mother requested reunification and virtual visits confirmed safety. The attorney general now seeks a court order to bring the teen home and prevent future border abandonments.
