Milford Teen Released After ICE Detention: 'It's Not Good' A Milford, Massachusetts teenager, Marcelo Gomes, 18, has been released from ICE custody after a deportation hearing. Gomes, originally from Brazil, was arrested on May 31st because his student visa had expired. He was held at an ICE office in Burlington. "That place, it's not good," Gomes said in an interview, describing small, overcrowded rooms and a lack of basic necessities. "They had me in handcuffs. I was in a room with a bunch of 35-year-old men. There were like 40 men in there." He also mentioned that he hadn't showered in six days. Gomes's release on a $2,000 bond is a positive development, highlighting the community support he received. His story underscores concerns about the treatment of immigrants in ICE detention and the complexities of immigration laws.
