EMOTIONS ran high as a migrant mother and child separated after crossing the US border were finally reunited on Friday after a month apart.
Beata Mariana de Jesus Mejia-Mejia and her seven-year-old son, Darwin, entered the US a month ago following an arduous trek from Guatemala.
Two days later, the boy was taken away from his mother, who had applied for political asylum soon after crossing the border.
The US Justice Department on Thursday agreed to release the boy after Mejia-Mejia sued the government in order to be reunited with him.
The mother’s legal action was financed by the Libre by Nexus organisation.
On its website, it says its mission is to assist “those without a voice in the immigration system”. (AP)
