Teen Left at Border in Custody Crisis | Santa Fe News

A New Mexico teen was allegedly abandoned at the U.S.-Mexico border after his state child welfare agency took him from an abusive home — then sent him alone to reunite with a mother with a history of her own issues. The Attorney General is now suing, claiming the department violated his constitutional rights, failed to investigate properly, and blocked his return to the U.S. — even asking federal officials to stop him from re-entering. Texas authorities eventually took the boy to Mexico. CYFD insists he’s safe with his mother and that custody decisions are up to judges, not governors.
