ICE Took His Son From Their Bronx Apartment. Now He's in El Salvador's Mega-Prison.
Merwil Gutiérrez had no criminal record when ICE agents detained the 19-year-old outside his home. Now his father, Wilmer, is still searching for answers.

The acting director of ICE told the Border Security Expo that his dream is to make the deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”
He added, “We need to get better at treating this like a business.”
