American Gestapo [View all]

ICE take 10 year old boy to court to deport him—all alone without even a lawyer.

He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing—no one offered him a change for many hours.

"I was scared because it was my first time in court," he said.

Separated from his mom for 4 months now after she was detained during a traffic stop.

Wilfredo and his mother are originally from Venezuela with a pending asylum case.

ICE is now trying to deport him alone without legal representation to Ecuador—a country he's never been to and does not know a single person.

He is temporarily staying with his mom's former boss in Houston, Texas.
