A family's attorney has come forward with concerns about the treatment of a 5-year-old boy and his father. The boy's father had asked that his son be released to his mother, but this request was not granted. Instead, both the father and son were taken to a detention center.

The Department of Homeland Security has a policy that allows parents to choose what happens to their children if they are arrested, but the attorney claims this option was not provided in this case. Further details about the incident are available from the attorney and other sources.
