A six-year-old deaf boy has been deported from the United States with family members - and the Department of Homeland Security refused to allow him his hearing aid before departure, a lawyer has said.
The child, his younger brother and mother, Lesly Rodriguez Gutierrez, were detained earlier this week during a routine check-in at Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office in San Francisco. The family were asylum seekers from Colombia, and had been living in Hayward, California, for five years.
