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 might surprise you but people don’t vote for the law as written but indeed for plans and promises made by law makers.
I remember our last election. Most people dont even vote for the “plans and promises.” They vote for the perceived “lesser evil.” -It’s incredibly irritating for those of us who care about policy.
People are bad at democracy; that doesn’t surprise me. But that’s irrelevant. Laws are important. Plans, promises and hopes – are not.
The spirit of the law is a very real thing and is taken into account by judges all the time.
Regardless of what your legal education is, the fact is that a current batch of politicians were elected because they promised to tackle crime and illegal immigration, and if there’s communities where home invasions, car jackings, burglaries are a somewhat regular occurrence then wasting state resources to hurriedly deport high school kids is stupid and wasteful.
