· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The New Mexico Attorney General is seeking to repatriate a 15-year-old U.S. citizen after state child welfare officials allegedly forced him to cross the border into Mexico to meet his mother, whom he hadn’t seen in years. The incident occurred on July 6 when the child was taken to El Paso, Texas. After crossing the border alone, he failed to find his mother and returned to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection urged New Mexico officials to retrieve him, but they reportedly refused. The child is currently in Texas custody and has been returned to his mother in Mexico despite attempts to re-enter the U.S.
