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.

    You didn’t answer my question, but I have objections to a whole mess of laws. Ones that let money move more freely than people among them.

      Your question is offtop. But if you insist: I’m not a fan of any kind of slavery regardless of place or time.

      So you think that people younger than 18 should be granted live and work permission simply by the fact of their presence in the country? All documents should be dismissed for young people?
