Marcelo Gomes da Silva, the Milford, Massachusetts high school student currently detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), had a student visa, but it expired, his attorney said.

Gomes da Silva will have a hearing in his case Thursday. It will be an introductory hearing to start the deportation process. But he also has a bond hearing where a judge may decide whether Gomes da Silva can be released from custody during the process.

Gomes da Silva, an 18-year-old junior at Milford High School, was driving to volleyball practice Saturday morning when he was pulled over by several ICE agents and taken into custody .

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said the agents were looking for his father but detained the teen because they say he's also in the country illegally.
