Community Outrage as High School Student Detained by ICE

Milford Community Rallies Behind Detained Teen: An 18-year-old high school student, Marcelo Gomes da Silva, is detained by ICE in Massachusetts, prompting an outpouring of support from his peers and community. His family has made an emotional plea for his release, while students at Milford High School staged a powerful walkout demonstration, wearing white and carrying signs demanding his freedom. "How cruel, I truly hope he gets released. This is so low and unfair." said one commenter on the video. The community has launched a fundraising campaign to assist with his legal expenses, already raising nearly $40,000. Gomes da Silva's attorney has stated that he has no criminal record and entered the country legally on a B-2 visa in 2013. This case highlights the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and the impact on families and communities.
