Dems urge ICE to release detained Detroit high schoolers and parents

A team of Democratic lawmakers from Michigan is calling on federal authorities to release four current or recent students at a Detroit high school and their families, all whom have been detained in the last few weeks.

The detainees have been living in the U.S. after fleeing violence and instability in their homelands of Venezuela and Senegal, according to the Democrats. The lawmakers say each had been following the immigration process and posed no risk to public safety.
