Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, an 18-year-old high school senior from California, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in early August while walking his family's dog. The teenager, originally born in Chile, has since been transferred between multiple detention centers across several states without any notification to his family, according to relatives and lawmakers.
On Aug. 8, Guerrero-Cruz was detained by immigration officials while walking his family's dog in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was detained just days prior to the start of his senior year at Reseda High School.
