Twins separated at border are reunited

Share

Twelve-year-old twins from Honduras who arrived on the U.S. border seeking asylum this summer as new Trump administration policies took effect suffered very different fates. Nostier Leiva Sabillon crossed the border with his father June 18, was detained by Customs and Border Protection in El Paso and released three days later with a notice to appear in immigration court. His mother and brother Anthony, who crossed the same border days later, were sent back to Juarez to await U.S. immigration court hearings under the new Remain in Mexico program. Suddenly, twins who had never slept apart were on their own.
