Europe EditionNew York City public school student detained by ICE at asylum hearing
- Dylan, a 20-year-old asylum seeker from Venezuela attending a public high school in the Bronx, was taken into custody by ICE agents on May 21, 2025, following his immigration court hearing in Lower Manhattan.
- His detention followed a dismissed asylum case, where he unknowingly gave up legal protections, making him eligible for expedited removal under current federal policies.
- Advocates and officials expressed concern that this arrest disrupts communities and undermines trust in immigration courts, while Mayor Eric Adams emphasized the detention occurred outside schools and without city coordination.
- Approximately 500 students protested in Union Square on May 27, highlighting fears about immigration enforcement impacts on immigrant families and democratic rights.
- The incident signals an increased use of expedited removals during the Trump administration’s second term and raises questions about protections for immigrant students attending public schools.
