UPDATE: Undocumented Dream Act Students Handed Over to ICE


UPDATE 1:35PM ET: After their arrest and subsequent apprehension by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) yesterday, the three undocumented students who staged a sit-in in Sen. John McCain’s office on Monday were released from custody. The students will still face deportation proceedings and will be expected to appear before an immigration judge.

One of the three students, Mohammad Abdollahi, told reporters, “We are relieved to be released from ICE; however, our hearts go out to all of the DREAM beneficiaries we made while we were being detained, all of whom were deported because they did not have the same support we did. We ask that leaders within both the Senate and our communities take the same stand we did and push for the DREAM Act to become a reality this year.â€
