There was a kid (mid-late teens, but not 18 yet) being deported on flight 7654 IAH-ORD to China. He didn't make a commotion, he just looked scared. The agent escorting him didn't speak Chinese, so he kept trying to reach someone in his office who could. Eventually he did and gave the phone to the kid (this was all waiting for the flight, of course). I considered offering to help translate, but my Mandarin isn't what it used to be. I hope the kid wasn't a makeshift asylum seeker.
