@yass.unitedstates: A 10-year-old Venezuelan boy, Wilfredo Gomez, was forced to appear alone in immigration court in Houston after his mother was detained months earlier during a traffic stop. With no lawyer or parent present, he had to represent himself while facing possible deportation. His mother, Nexoli Gomez, remains in custody, leaving the child under the care of a family acquaintance. Authorities are reportedly seeking to deport him to Ecuador—a country he has never lived in and where he has no family. The case has sparked backlash, with Joaquin Castro criticizing the situation and calling for the mother’s release, saying the boy should be treated like a child, not forced to navigate the legal system alone. #texas #immigration #venezuela #boy #court
