Bronx Teen Reunited With Family After 10 Months in ICE Custody
TL;DR Summary
After about 10 months in ICE detention, Dylan Lopez Contreras, a Bronx high school student who came to the U.S. from Venezuela, was released before dawn on Wednesday on his own recognizance, wearing an ankle monitor and subject to routine immigration check-ins. His release followed advocacy from his family, ROCC NYC, and allies including Senator Chuck Schumer, and comes amid a broader wave of releases of detained school-age migrants; he was arrested at a Lower Manhattan courthouse last May, had turned 21 in custody, and is back home to finish his education while the case proceeds.
