CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The family of an 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student arrested on his way to volleyball practice pleaded with immigration officials to release him Wednesday.“I love my son. We need Marcelo back home. It’s no family without him,” João Paulo Gomes Pereira said in a video released by his son’s attorney. “We love America. Please, bring my son back.”

Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age 7, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Saturday. Authorities have said the agents were looking for the teenager’s father, who owns the car Gomes da Silva was driving at the time and had parked in a friend’s driveway.“Like any local law enforcement officer, if you encounter someone that has a warrant or … he’s here illegally, we will take action on it,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told reporters Monday.Gomes da Silva initially entered the country on a visitor visa and was later issued a student visa that has since lapsed, said his attorney, Robin Nice. She described him as deeply rooted in his community and a dedicated member of both the Milford High School marching band and a band at his church.

“He has glowing letters from his principal, from teachers, from his volleyball coach, from his pastor. He has no criminal record. This kid has never interacted with police until last Saturday, and he entered the U.S. lawfully,” she said in an interview Wednesday. “Even if removal proceedings are the appropriate avenue in his case, which is fine, there’s no reason for him to be detained.”A federal judge considering Gomes da Silva’s request to be released while the immigration case proceeds has given the government until June 16 to respond and has ordered that Gomes da Silva not be moved out of Massachusetts without 48 hours’ notice given to the court. The government sought permission Wednesday to move Gomes da Silva to a detention facility in a different New England state, Nice said, a move his lawyers oppose because they fear it would delay an immigration hearing scheduled for Thursday. A judge quickly denied the request.

For now, he is being held in a processing facility that is not designed for detention, Nice said. Forty men are sharing one room, sleeping on the cement floor and sometimes only given crackers to eat, she said. Gomes da Silva told her he felt feverish and that after getting hit hard in the head by a volleyball a week before he was detained, he was now having throbbing headaches and vision problems.

“We’re really concerned about him. We really want to get him medical care,” Nice said. “He’s holding as well as he can, but he’s struggling.”in its stronghold in Darfur and made advances elsewhere,

Hamdok, a 69-year-old former economist who now leads a civilian coalition from exile, called the idea that the conflict was drawing down “total nonsense.” The idea that reconstruction can begin in Khartoum while fighting rages elsewhere is “absolutely ridiculous,” he said.“Any attempt at creating a government in Sudan today is fake. It is irrelevant,” he said, arguing that lasting peace can’t be secured without addressing the root causes of the war.

Hamdok said a ceasefire and a credible process to restore democratic, civilian rule would need to confront Sudan’s deep inequalities, including uneven development, issues among different identity groups and questions about the role of religion in government.“Trusting the soldiers to bring democracy is a false pretense,” he added.
