New York City public school student detained by ICE at asylum hearing
A Bronx high school student from Venezuela was detained by federal immigration officials last week following a court appearance for his asylum case.
It's the first known case of a New York City public school student being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
NYC public school student subject to expedited removal, feds say
Dylan, a 20-year-old Ellis Prep High School student, showed up at federal immigration court in Lower Manhattan on May 21 for a hearing on his request for asylum, and was then arrested.
He has no criminal record.
His attorney said he entered the country legally under policies then in effect under the Biden administration.
"Dylan entered the United States with permission to seek asylum, and his detention robs him of the opportunity to seek that relief with the full protections offered to him under the law," said a spokesperson for the New York Legal Assistance Group.
ICE disputes that, saying in a statement that Dylan is "an illegal alien from Venezuela who illegally entered the U.S. more than one year ago. Under the Biden administration, he was encountered at the border and released into the country."
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said Dylan is subject to expedited removal.
Mayor Adams declines to get involved in student's deportation case
Mayor Eric Adams is declining to get involved in Dylan's case.
"I just wondered if, given your relationship with Tom Homan, if you might be able to talk to him to review this case," CBS News New York political reporter Marcia Kramer asked.
"Well, we have to be extremely careful because the New York City Council laws, I'm limited on what coordination I can do, and so sometimes there's a blessing and it's a curse. We don't know what happened at that hearing," Adams said.
Reporter Michael Elsen-Rooney, with our media partners at Chalkbeat, spoke with Dylan's mom, who told him she's also worried because Dylan has been sick with stomach problems.
"She said ... he's told her that he hasn't received medical treatment so far. He's been moved to four different detention centers, at least, in the past five or six days," Elsen-Rooney said.
Some students at Ellis Prep are also upset.
"It's scary because I'm an immigrant," one student said.
"I think it's difficult. It's very scary," another student said.
Adams said students should feel safe going to school.
"I want to be extremely clear -- that did not happen in the school. We don't coordinate with ICE on civil enforcement. So, you know what we know," he said.

Louisiana authorities arrest girlfriend of escaped inmate for conspiracy in coordinated jailbreak operation
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced the arrest of a former Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office (OPSO) employee who's believed to be the girlfriend of Derrick Groves, who's still on the run. Murrill announced in a press release that 28-year-old Darriana Burton, a former OPSO employee, was arrested on Monday after allegedly helping Derrick Groves with his escape from the facility. Officials believe Burton is the girlfriend of Groves. An arrest warrant for Burton was issued on May 27 on a charge of conspiracy to commit simple escape. She was arrested by the United States Marshalls Service, who located her in New Orleans on Monday. An arrest affidavit states that the woman allegedly coordinated contact between Groves and individuals outside the jail and communicated information relating to the escape. Murrill's office said officials confirmed the couple were in an "again, off-again relationship" for three years, and are believed to currently be dating. Burton worked for the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office from August 2022 – March 2023. In 2023, according to Murrill. Officials said she was arrested and charged in 2023 for allegedly bringing contraband into a jail and malfeasance, but those charges were refused by the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office. "We will continue to pursue anyone and everyone who has aided and abetted these criminals. We will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you to the full extent of the law. I'd like to thank the US Marshals Service for executing our warrant for this woman. We will arrest all aiders and abettors, and we will eventually get Antoine Massey and Derrick Groves back to prison where they belong," Murrill said. Groves and Antoine Massey remain at large.

About 700 Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
More than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, and the troops will join the thousands of National Guard members who were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California's governor or LA's mayor. The deployment of the full Marine battalion marks a significant escalation in Trump's use of the military as a show of force against protesters, but it is still unclear what their specific task will be once in LA, sources told CNN. Like the National Guard troops, they are prohibited from conducting law enforcement activity such as making arrests unless Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, which permits the president to use the military to end an insurrection or rebellion of federal power. The Marines being activated are with 2nd battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine division, according to US Northern Command. The activation is 'intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency,' NORTHCOM said in statement, referring to US Army north's contingency command post. One of the people familiar with the Marine mobilization said they will be augmenting the guard presence on the ground in LA. Over 2,000 members of the California National Guard have been activated by the president, but only about 300 have been deployed to the streets of LA so far. Those initial 300 people were on a routine National Guard drill weekend when they were mobilized, which is why they were able to arrive so quickly, the person familiar said; it can take up to 72 hours for other guardsmen to be mobilized. The Marines are expected to bolster some of the guard members who have been deployed to LA in the last two days, this person said. And while the person familiar stressed that the Marines were being deployed only to augment the forces already there, the image of US Marines mobilizing inside the United States will stand in contrast to National Guardsmen who more routinely respond to domestic issues. While some Marines have been assisting in border security at the southern border, one US official said Marines have not been mobilized within the US like they are in California now since the 1992 riots in Los Angeles. While the Marines' tasks have not been specified publicly, they could include assignments like crowd control or establishing perimeter security. Lawyers within the Defense Department are also still finalizing language around the use-of-force guidelines for the troops being mobilized, but the person familiar said it will likely mirror the military's standing rules of the use of force. California Gov. Gavin Newsom described the involvement of Marines as 'unwarranted' and 'unprecedented.' 'The level of escalation is completely unwarranted, uncalled for, and unprecedented — mobilizing the best in class branch of the U.S. military against its own citizens,' Newsom said in a statement linking to a news story about the Marines mobilizing. Newsom disputed the characterization as a 'deployment,' which the governor described as different from mobilization. US Northern Command said in their statement, however, that the Marines will 'seamlessly integrate' with National Guard forces 'protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area.' Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell called for 'open and continuous lines of communication' between all agencies responding to protests in the city ahead of the deployment of US Marines. McDonell said in a statement that his agency and other partner agencies have experience dealing with large-scale demonstrations and safety remains a top priority for them. That communication will 'prevent confusion, avoid escalation, and ensure a coordinated, lawful, and orderly response during this critical time,' McDonnell stressed. This story and headline have been updated with additional developments.

700 Marines deployed to L.A. as immigration protests continue
The Pentagon on Monday ordered a battalion of 700 Marines to Los Angeles as protests of the Trump administration's immigration policies spilled into a fourth day, escalating a confrontation between the White House and the country's most populous state. The Marines, summoned from an infantry unit typically trained for overseas warfare, will assist more than 300 National Guard members President Donald Trump deployed to the city over the weekend, the first wave of roughly 2,100 activated so far for the mission, according to the Defense Department. The deployments follow demonstrations against immigration raids that at times turned violent.
