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.

      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.
