Boy with a fractured skull faces deportation; family was detained after ICE check-in

A 5-year-old Guatemalan boy with a fractured skull and his parents and younger brother are in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after a routine check-in.

The child's father was separated from his family and sent to a detention center in California, where the family has lived while it sought asylum; they say they were threatened in their country. All family members now have deportation orders. ICE said in a statement that Milda Rodríguez, the boy's mother, did not warn authorities of her child's condition at the time of the arrest and medical examinations revealed no problems.

Mateo fell from a supermarket cart Dec. 22 while playing with his 1-year-old brother, the family said. Two days later, the family visited two medical centers in the Los Angeles area after the boy kept crying from pain. Doctors there performed an MRI and detected blood in the brain and a fracture in the skull, according to medical recordsThe family said they were unable to take their child to see a neurologist or a neurosurgeon because ICE detained them during a routine check-in last month after they missed a hearing in the immigration court processing their asylum case back in November.

Sad. Stop putting your children in danger and blaming someone else.

I can’t believe our shero Alyssa Milano volunteered to pay for little Mateo’s medical bills. She sure is lovely and talented.

And the mother is not to blame?

The US only cares about human rights when it's in some other country. 🤬
