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.
The spirit of the law is a very real thing and is taken into account by judges all the time.
