School Student: Puma Macancela

school student: A day before, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE had arrested and detained his mother, an undocumented Ecuadoran immigrant who entered the U.S. illegally with him two years ago, according to Hamilton Spectator. With his mother in ICE custody, the teenager had spent the night at his relatives' apartment, his cousin Gabriela Macancela, 21, told The Washington Post. Puma Macancela, a 19-year-old high school student in Ossining, N.Y., expected the authorities would be looking for him. And on the morning of June 8, Puma Macancela woke his cousin up with the news the authorities were back for him, demanding that he go outside. The teenager worried that if they gained access to the home, his undocumented relatives would also be arrested, Gabriela Macancela said. As his cousin hid under her parents' bed, the immigration officers called her and her father on their cellphones, telling them that if Puma Macancela didn't come outside they would be breaking down the doors.
