Martir Garcia Lara's fourth-grade teacher and classmates went on with the school day in Torrance, California without him on May 29.
About 20 miles north of his fourth grade classroom, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested and detained the boy and his father at their scheduled immigration hearing in Downtown Los Angeles.
The federal immigration enforcement agency, which under President Donald Trump has more aggressively deported undocumented immigrants, separated the young boy and his father for a time and took them to an immigration detention facility in Texas.
Garcia Lara and his father were reunited and deported to Honduras this summer.
