The Department of Justice is launching a major crackdown on New Mexico’s CYFD after a 15-year-old U.S. citizen was abandoned at the border—sent to Mexico despite his refusal and his mother’s dangerous history. DOJ officials call it a dangerous, destabilizing move, part of a pattern of systemic failures that have even led to child deaths. CYFD claims it acted in the child’s best interest with court approval, but leaked documents show the boy repeatedly refused to go and his mother’s troubled past. The DOJ is seeking an emergency order to halt such decisions and is proposing 50 sweeping reforms to fix CYFD’s broken system—where caseworkers skip visits, fake records, and mislead lawmakers. CYFD remains silent until it reviews the court order.
