that was the last time he was able to visit his son William; since then, he has not seen his
son for almost four years. Bersson Gelin does not want to return to the Dominican
Republic because he is afraid that he will be expelled again. 224 The State noted that it has
no opportune or late declaration of his birth, and no record of his deportation. 225
