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.

          Listen, this kid somehow got into the country. And into the school, and that soccer thing too. And I doubt that he did all that alone. So his parents obviously haven’t…

          Oh, forget it. You’re obviously unwilling to understand even the trivialest things. Go… continue to cry “poor kid”. I just can’t speak with the local “public” amynore. Reddit-tier people. And my patience isn’t infinite.

            Fuck off with this low tier bait. He was a child, how many children know anything about papers, the government, or anything meaningful on immigration? The kid was a teenager, he grew up here. He is, or I suppose thanks to ICE was an American. He deserves the right to live where he grew up. But I guess racists like you don’t think about such things, Mr. Out of patience.

              So you think that everyone below 18 should be granted live permission regardless of anything?

            I actually agree with you here. He obviously didnt do those things alone. But for some reason you think he is solely responsible for obtaining legal citizenship status while being underage. If you understand he likely didnt enroll himself into school here, why do you think its reasonable he would be able to obtain citizenship himself?

              Because it isn’t important how he would do the paperwork: alone or not. It must be done. And it is reasonable to expect the paperwork to be done.
