A Milford, Massachusetts, high school student who has been at an ICE detention center since being detained by federal officials last week has been ordered released on $2,000 bond after a hearing was held Thursday. Marcelo Gomes da Silva had been in a Burlington facility after he was detained May 31 for his undocumented status after a traffic stop when he was on his way to volleyball practice. He is currently being held in Plymouth.Thursday’s immigration hearing was held in Chelmsford.His attorney, Robin Nice, told WCVB that the 18-year-old was sleeping on a cement floor and sharing one open toilet with about 40 others at the facility.Video: Supporters rally for Milford student detained by ICE”He said it’s extremely hot. He has a sore throat. He sounded really stuffed up and miserable,” Nice said. “We’re also worried because he told me for the first time yesterday he thinks he had a concussion a week prior from a volleyball game. In the last few days, his head has really started throbbing, and the vision in his left eye at the top is going black.”Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino said his community has many immigrants, and he denounced Gomes da Silva’s arrest.”I don’t agree with the broad sword of makes it safer, makes it better, it doesn’t,” Tusino said. “I don’t agree with ‘We can do nothing.’ It’s two separate, simple issues. Criminals, and noncriminals, it’s that simple.”His family released a video Wednesday, pleading for him to be released by ICE.”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 son back,” he said.Marcelo’s attorney said he came to the United States with his family when he was 7 on a visitor visa. It then became a student visa that has since lapsed.
