Dylan, a 20-year-old Venezuelan migrant attending a Bronx high school, was detained by ICE following an immigration court appearance. His mother expressed frustration over the seeming unfairness of the situation, highlighting Dylan’s desire to pursue education rather than engage in illegal activities. While attending Ellis Prep Academy to improve his English, he had recently applied for asylum but faced the risk of deportation due to changes in immigration policy. New York City Public Schools, led by Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, condemned the detention and reaffirmed support for immigrant students.
It seems like a dirty game on their part," Raiza, Dylan's mother, said, expressing her concerns over the timing of Dylan's detention after attending court.
New York City Public Schools stands firmly with our students, including our immigrant students, Chancellor Aviles-Ramos stated, emphasizing the commitment to safe spaces for all.
