Alan Pierre, a Spring Valley high school student, was detained by ICE after an immigration hearing, where he expected to be quickly approved for citizenship. His father, Dutan Pierre, is a U.S. citizen who sponsored him, yet Alan was handcuffed and taken into custody, leading to five weeks of detention. This situation caused him to miss finals and the summer school registration deadline. Congressman Mike Lawler played a role in facilitating Alan's release, pledging continued support for him and others in the Haitian community in their immigration matters.
