A sign of the times. USA Today reports that Federal immigration authorities took a 19-year-old high school student into custody hours before his senior prom.
Diego Ismael Puma Macancela, a citizen of Ecuador, was arrested at his cousin’s Ossining, New York home earlier this week. He is being held at a federal detention center pending deportation. The arrest comes in wake of a deportation order entered last November.
His cousin, Gaby Macancela, said a frightened Puma Macancela came to her apartment Wednesday night after his mother’s arrest. The following morning, she said they cowered in fear in one of the bedrooms when they heard agents banging on the door of her apartment.
