Seeking refuge in US, children fleeing danger are expelled

When officers led them out of a detention facility near the U.S.-Mexico border and onto a bus last month, the 12-year-old from Honduras and his 9-year-old sister believed they were going to a shelter so they could be reunited with their mother in the Midwest. Instead, the bus drove five hours to an airport where the children were told to board a plane. “They didn’t tell us we were going back to Honduras.”
