A Venezuelan high school student who arrived in the U.S. seeking asylum in April 2024, during President Joe Biden's term, was detained by federal immigration authorities following an immigration court hearing on May 21.

Dylan is a 20-year-old student at Ellis Prep High School who entered the States with permission to seek asylum under policies enacted during then-President Biden's administration, CBS News reported. Through the program, Dylan was granted protected status, meaning he could apply for work and driver's learn permits, while he awaited his court date.
