In a shocking incident at a New York City courthouse, a high school student from the Bronx was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while attending a routine asylum hearing. The 20-year-old Venezuelan student is the first known case of a public school student in New York City being apprehended by federal agents in such a setting. This event has sparked significant outrage, leading to hundreds of students walking out of schools in protest. Mayor Adams has stated that the matter lies with federal authorities, insisting that the incident should not deter immigrants from seeking assistance. The situation raises serious questions about the impact of immigration policies on students and communities.
