A New York City high school student was detained by ICE following a routine immigration appointment, igniting concerns from officials and the community. State Senator Michael Gianaris condemned the action, highlighting the trauma caused by separating families. He emphasized the unacceptability of apprehending minors in courthouses. The student, an 11th grader at Grover Cleveland High School in Queens, was taken away from his family during the immigration check-in, with the family fearing for his safety. This incident is part of a troubling pattern of ICE detentions affecting students.
Imagine a family not knowing where their teenage son is, just taken away from them, God knows where he is being held.
Apprehending minors in courthouses and separating them from their families is unacceptable, and I join the school in calling for his release.
