Really, really sickening story about deportees and families being broken up: a boy and his little sister being shipped off to Bangladesh by themselves because their mother didn't have the proper visa to get on the plane with them. It's reminding me of a story my uncle told me about his aunt, who couldn't immigrate to the U.S. with her family because she had some sort of facial palsy and she was advised that Ellis Island would send her back, so she had to stay on in Southampton by herself and sail over separately.
