Brazilian Student Detained in US Sparks Outrage An 18-year-old Brazilian student, Marcelo Gomes, was detained in Massachusetts last week on immigration charges, just one day before his graduation from Milford High School. The unexpected arrest prompted immediate protests from his classmates and the broader community. "We miss you, we won't be silent!" chanted protestors outside the town hall, holding signs denouncing the detention. The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies in the United States. According to reports, Gomes was apprehended by ICE agents during a large-scale operation targeting illegal immigrants. While officials confirmed the arrest, they stated that Gomes was not a primary target of the operation. However, his detention remains, leaving his future uncertain. The governor of Massachusetts has called for an explanation of the circumstances surrounding Gomes' detention. The case has garnered significant attention, raising questions about the impact of immigration enforcement on students and the wider community.
