Blumenthal Statement on ICE Detention of Wilbur Cross High School Student

[Hartford, CT] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) today released the following statement on the detention of a Wilbur Cross High School student by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“ICE’s arrest of another Connecticut high school student at his place of employment is cruel, craven and coldhearted. Esdras should be preparing to start his junior year at Wilbur Cross High School in a few weeks, not in a detention center. Esdras, I want you to know we are fighting for you, and we will not stop until you are home,” Blumenthal said.
