Emerson Colindres had no criminal record and was attending appointment with ICE when detained
A teenage student and soccer stand-out was arrested by immigration authorities four days after his high school graduation ceremony in Ohio earlier this month, and deported to Honduras this week, his family has said.
Emerson Colindres, 19, had no criminal record and was attending a regularly scheduled appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Cincinnati when he was detained on 4 June, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
His parents told the newspaper he was deported on Wednesday to a country he has not lived in since he was 8 years old.
There just aren’t enough criminal immigrants to reach our lofty goals. Turns out people motivated enough to leave their nation of birth and come here despite all the obstacles generally don’t want to fuck around once they arrive.
We can kick out immigrants and restrict international students until the cows come home. We will be worse for it because the US consistently fails to educate and up skill our own citizens en masse.
