Wrongful ICE Arrest Sparks Outrage and Student Walkout in Milford

Milford High School student Marcelo Gomes Da Silva's unexpected arrest by ICE agents on Saturday has sparked outrage and protests within the community. The 18-year-old, who was on his way to volleyball practice, was not the intended target of the operation, according to officials. His cousin, Julia Sampaio, described the scene, stating, "He was telling ICE agents that he's a kid, he needs to go back to school." Attorney Robin Nice, representing Da Silva, added, "There is no reason whatsoever why a kid with no criminal record should be detained." Da Silva's case highlights the complexities of immigration enforcement and the impact on individuals and their communities. A bond hearing is scheduled for Thursday to determine his release from custody.
