April 1, 2014 Update: An ICE Homeland Security Investigations official tells ABC-7 that they assisted in reuniting 3-year-old Lionel with his mother at a port of entry on Saturday.

The boy’s mother did not have the proper documentation to allow her into the U.S. So she and the boy were allowed to go back to Juarez, Mexico.
