A Massachusetts high school student who was arrested by immigration agents on his way to volleyball practice has been released from custody after a judge granted him bond Thursday. Marcelo Gomes da Silva, 18, 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 Milford High School teenager's father, who owns the car Gomes da Silva was driving at the time and had parked in a friend's driveway. Speaking with members of the media outside the detention center shortly after his release on $2,000 bond, Gomes da Silva described “humiliating” conditions and said his faith in God helped him through his six days of detention. On his wrist, he wore a bracelet made from the thin sheet of metallic blanket he was given to sleep on the cement floor. “I’ll always remember this place,” he said. “I’ll always remember how it was.” Gomes da Silva, who said his father taught him to “put other people first,” said many of the men imprisoned with him didn't speak English and didn't understand why they were there. He had to inform some of them that they were being deported, and then watched them break down in tears. “I told every single inmate down there: When I’m out, if I’m the only one who was able to leave that place, I lost,” he said. “I want to do whatever I can to get them as much help as possible. If they have to be deported, so be it. But in the right way, in the right conditions. Because no one down there is treated good.” He said some days, he was given only crackers to eat, which he shared with the other men. One of his first stops after being released was to McDonald's to get a soda, chicken nuggets and french fries. U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said earlier this week that ICE officers were targeting a “known public safety threat” and that Gomes da Silva’s father “has a habit of reckless driving at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour through residential areas.” “While ICE officers never intended to apprehend Gomes da Silva, he was found to be in the United States illegally and subject to removal proceedings, so officers made the arrest,” she said in a statement. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said Monday that “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.” "We support following the law. But this administration is breaking the law, this administration, is not keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honor students in prison," said Rep. Seth Moulton, (D-MA), speaking to reporters along da Silva Thursday after his release.
