ICE Agents Arrest Bronx High Schooler Outside Routine Immigration Check-In

HeadlineMay 28, 2025

Here in New York, immigration advocates are demanding the release of a 20-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker who was arrested by ICE agents as he left his immigration hearing last week. The asylum seeker has only been identified by his first name, Dylan, as his mother fears further retaliation from ICE. On the day of his arrest, she said agents ambushed Dylan in the courthouse lobby after he left his hearing. In the following days, Dylan was transferred to multiple immigration jails across four states, making it difficult for his lawyers to contact him. Dylan was attending high school in the Bronx, where he lived with his mom and two younger siblings, and worked as a part-time delivery driver.
