Hanging out of the car with excitement, Marcelo Gomes da Silva couldn’t wait to return home to Milford on Thursday after spending six days in ICE custody. “The only thing I wanted to do when I got back here was hug my parents, my dad, yeah, my dad means the world to me,” said Marcelo Gomes da Silva.

A Milford High School student who has been detained by ICE since last weekend was recently moved from a field office holding cell into solitary confinement, his lawyers said Wednesday night.

The student, a junior whose name hasn't been released, had been in the country since he was 5 years old, a school administrator said.
