A Bronx mother whose 21-year-old son has spent nearly nine months in ICE detention was U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer’s guest at the Feb. 24 State of the Union address by President Donald Trump.
Raiza Contreras’s son, Venezuelan-born Dylan Lopez Contreras, was the first NYC public school student to be detained in Trump’s immigration crackdown. According to attorneys, Dylan came to the United States legally, applied for asylum, followed all applicable laws, had no criminal record, and was attending Ellis Preparatory Academy in Marble Hill.
