An 11th-grade student in NYC was detained by ICE during an asylum hearing, following a similar incident involving another student earlier this year. School officials expressed sadness and reiterated their commitment to ensuring a safe environment for all students, emphasizing that such detentions are outside of school premises. Families are encouraged to continue sending their children to school despite these events. The detainee's family remains unaware of his whereabouts, heightening their suffering and fear of losing a loved one due to immigration enforcement actions.
We are deeply saddened to learn that one of our students was detained by ICE while attending a legal hearing to seek asylum. This young person should be returning home from school today, surrounded by family - not facing detention.
They are in incredible pain right now. They are terrified for their son. They are terrified for the rest of their family. I don't think that you have to be a parent to put yourself in their shoes and to imagine someone that you love more than life itself being taken away in this incredibly, incredibly cruel way.
