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 don't know what's worse. Deporting children to a country they've never seen or deporting people who've been here longer than some of us have been alive.

You can come on a visa, seek asylum, overstay. It's not improper entry or illegal presence, it's exempt for asylum seekers.

ICE is arresting people who are coming legally. People who never chose to come here. People who've done everything right.

Aside from the moral issues, we just invested probably 150k in this kid’s education, and NOW we pay more to deport him?

If he was a (us) football star he'd have gotten a scholarship instead.

In a fair world he'd have been allowed to stay in the town he grew up in. But I kinda wanna see him make a futbol career for himself and come back to score the winning goal against the US in the World Cup....

Me too, but damn if I don't feel crazy rooting against my own dumbass country.

It doesn't have to be like this, you stupid fucks!

I don't think the world cup will be happening the way it normally would. If at all.

Just a hunch.
