Saul Martinez spent six days
at a border patrol detention center in 2014,
after a month-long trek from El Salvador.
He was part of the surge of children
who arrived at the southern border alone,
mostly from Central America.
And back then, like now, the government wrestled
with how to handle thousands of children caught up
in the immigration system.
"We now have an actual humanitarian crisis on the border
that only underscores the need to drop the politics
and fix our immigration system once and for all."
Images like these led to public outcry
on the treatment of vulnerable children.
But he did tell his story when he testified
before members of Congress.
The panel wanted to hear why he had come.
He wanted to tell them what had happened
once he arrived.
He remembers the rooms being filled
with children and mothers waiting
for their names to be called.
After six days, he was flown to a shelter in Miami,
run by a separate government agency.
He says it was very comfortable.
And on Mother's Day, he was finally reunited
with his mother.
Four years later, Saul has a green card,
a job and one year left of high school.
And there is a new crisis unfolding
at the southern border.
But for kids like Saul, it feels like history is repeating itself.
