An Indian woman seeking asylum in the US is said to have been separated from her five-year-old differently-abled son at the border after she illegally crossed into America from Mexico.
A report in The Washington Post said 33-year-old Bhavan Patel was granted a USD 30,000 bond by an Arizona court. It was not immediately clear if she was able to join her disabled son.

This is the first known case of an Indian national having been separated from their minor child under Trump's 'zero-tolerance' policy recently.
The Trump administration's controversial 'zero tolerance' policy against illegel immigration has come under fire for its practice of separating immigrant parents and their children on the US border. Reports say it has resulted in the separation of nearly 2,300 children from their families.
