Anguished mother reunites with son in US custody
Andrea, who asked to not have her last name used, came to the United States from Venezuela seeking asylum. Her family and son soon followed, but her son was classified as an unaccompanied minor and separated from the family by Customs and Border Protection despite being with his stepfather. Reporting for Weekend TODAY, NBC’s Dasha Burns was there when mother and son were reunited.
