Asylum-seeking fathers separated from children by ICE [sandiegouniontribune.com]

Four fathers fleeing death threats from gangs in Central America traveled thousands of miles to reach the safety they saw in the U.S. border. Then immigration officials forced them to hand over their children.

The men were together when officials came to take their children about two weeks ago. They haven't been able to talk to their children even by phone since then, they said.

“They took him without clothes, without my authorization,” said Eric Matute Castro, 33, one of the fathers, about his three-year-old son Roger. “I don’t know where he is. I don’t know how he is doing. I don’t know if he is hurt. I don’t know anything.”
