A 6-year-old Chinese boy has been separated from his father after federal agents arrested the family following a routine immigration appointment in New York City.
The boy’s father, Fei Zheng, is detained inside Orange County Correctional Facility in upstate New York, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody records.
In a statement to The Independent, Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin disputed that ICE had separated the father and son while acknowledging that they were in separate custody.
