"According to his loved ones, 43-year-old Heury Gomez of the Dominican Republic had been training to become the permanent caregiver for his 18-year-old son Noah, who lives with special needs, when federal agents arrested him on Aug. 5 of this year. The arrest came months after a judge awarded him sole custody of the teen. Noah is non-verbal and lives with multiple medical challenges, including being dependent on a tracheostomy and a feeding tube."
"They pulled him off to a room to question him, and then they said that he would need to be detained until he sees a judge, and they really didn't give him any more details outside of that, Zapata said. My heart dropped, because I already knew what that probably meant. He was held at the airport for, I would say, over 30 hours. He was just held at the airport, just sitting in a chair."
