A Cambodian refugee met his 1-year-old son, holding him for the first time, in Terminal A at Boston’s Logan Airport late last month.
Thy Chea, a Lowell resident since 1991 who said he was wrongly detained, then deported in August 2018, returned home on Feb. 26 after an 18-month legal fight against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Chea said he was unexpectedly detained after getting a call from Boston’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.
