NYC Student Detained by ICE at Asylum Hearing: Mayor Adams’ Silence Condemned
A 20-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker and Ellis Prep High School student, Dylan, was detained by ICE following a court hearing, marking the first known arrest of a NYC public school student by the agency. ICE claims Dylan illegally entered the U.S. over a year ago and is subject to expedited removal, while his attorney contends he entered legally under existing Biden administration policies. Dylan’s mother reports her son is ill and has been transferred between multiple detention centers without medical care. Mayor Adams declined to intervene, citing legal limitations on coordinating with ICE on civil matters.
