US EditionMassachusetts high schooler detained by ICE granted bond by judge
- A group of students from Milford High School organized a walkout on Monday to show their support for their fellow student Marcelo Gomes da Silva, a junior aged 18, who is currently being held in immigration detention by ICE in Massachusetts.
- Gomes da Silva was taken into custody by ICE on Saturday during a traffic stop aimed at his father, while he was traveling with teammates to attend volleyball training, in what is considered a collateral arrest.
- Marcelo is an honors student with no criminal history who lawfully entered the U.S. In 2013 on a B-2 visa and intends to apply for asylum, according to his attorney Robin Nice.
- On Monday, a judge mandated that Gomes da Silva remain in Massachusetts for a minimum of 72 hours before his initial hearing on Thursday, where he intends to seek release on bond, while local fundraisers have collectively raised close to $40,000 in support.
- The detention prompted calls from Governor Maura Healey and Senator Ed Markey for Gomes da Silva’s release, emphasizing he poses no danger and condemning the arrest as part of Trump administration policies causing fear in immigrant communities.
