“A 10-year-old Salvadoran boy who was apprehended while trying to cross the U.S. border on his own to find his mother can stay in America at least until next summer, an immigration judge ruled Monday.

Judge William Martin’s decision means Jonathan Martinez can live with his mother in Inglewood while the family prepares an asylum claim to keep him here, lawyer Julianne Donnelly said. That case is expected to be heard in August.”
