Hanging out of the car with excitement, Marcelo Gomes da Silva couldn’t wait to return home to Milford on Thursday after spending six days in ICE custody. “The only thing I wanted to do when I got back here was hug my parents, my dad, yeah, my dad means the world to me,” said Marcelo Gomes da Silva.

A Milford High School student who has been detained by ICE since last weekend was recently moved from a field office holding cell into solitary confinement, his lawyers said Wednesday night.

Instead of performing with the Milford High School band at Sunday's graduation, Marcelo Gomes Da Silva was detained by immigration officials.
