But last week or the week before, ICE, pretending to be the Office of Refugee Resettlement said that they were completing the paperwork to help his dad be his sponsor so they could reunify. But they tricked him. ICE detained him and now he's in ICE detention and Anderson is ordered to be deported back to El Salvador based on things that he said with no lawyer present or in the room or ever representing him.
