HOUSTON – Emmanuel Gonzales-Garcia<\/a> went missing last Saturday. While in federal custody, he had his appendix taken out.<\/p>\n

Vigil held for Emmanuel Gonzales-Garcia <\/p>\n

The fact that he’s in a federal facility for unaccompanied youth, and not recovering at home, has struck a nerve with some in our community.<\/p>\n

“We shouldn’t be here today, Emanuel should be with Mom in the best care,” said Cesar Espinoza, Executive Director for FIEL. “We have a conviction to be here until Emanuel is free.”<\/p>\n

Through an interpreter, Emanuel’s mother said she wants to run across the street and get Emanuel, but knows she can’t.<\/p>\n

“I know this is a mother who loves her child, and this mother should have the opportunity to be with her child, especially as he’s in recovery,” said U.S. Congressman Al Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emanuel’s mother and supporters are expected to return to City Hall this coming Tuesday.<\/p>\n
