KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
A woman from Honduras was overcome with joy as she was reunited with her three-year-old son early Tuesday morning, after not being able to see him for over a month.

But the feeling didn’t last long, as both were quickly put on a plane to leave Kansas City.

Kenia Bautista and her son Noah were reunited outside the Immigration and Border Control Enforcement Building on Ambassador Drive, as supporters and attorneys cheered and a crew from Netflix captured the moment.

Now both will be deported.

A Kansas City immigration lawyer claims she was shoved to a concrete sidewalk by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer early Tuesday and physically separated from a 3-year-old boy she was reuniting with his Honduran mother to be deported.

Attorney Andrea Martinez said she suffered a fracture in her right foot and bloody injuries to her left ankle and knee.

The incident at roughly 3:15 a.m. was captured on video by a collection of activists and a documentary crew that witnessed it at ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations office on North Ambassador Drive in Kansas City.

ICE issued a statement Tuesday evening:

“Early this morning an incident occurred at the Kansas City ICE office while ICE (Enforcement and Removal Operations) officers were attempting to reunite a mother with a family member. We take any allegations against ICE personnel very seriously and are looking into the matter.”
