HBA Condemns ICE Seizure Of 8-Year-Old Haitian Child From Fay Elementary In San Diego

Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) strongly condemns the Trump administration’s decision to take an eight-year-old Haitian boy into federal custody during a routine immigration check-in, separating him from his loved ones, school, and community. According to a press release from HBA, the third-grade student at Fay Elementary School had been living with his loved ones following his father’s deportation by the U.S government back in 2025 forcing him to live with loved ones in the absence of his father. Despite the fact that he followed all the rules and took the 8-year-old uncle to appear for a scheduled immigration appointment that was sent to him, the child was taken into custody and subsequently transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement leaving his cousins in tears.
