MILFORD, Mass. —
The family of Marcelo Gomes da Silva shared a video Wednesday pleading for the Milford High School student to be released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The 18-year-old was detained by ICE agents this weekend while he was on his way to volleyball practice.
In the video, the student’s parents and siblings pleaded for his release.
"Hello, ICE. My name is Joao Paulo, Marcelo's father. I miss my son. I love you, my son. We need Marcelo back home. It's not a family without him. We love America. Please bring my, my son back," he said.
"Hello, ICE. My name is Diane, Marcelo's mother. Please bring my son back. I miss my son, so much. This is the room of my son, and I miss my son inside my home. I need to hug my son ... please," she said.
