Senate Intervention Returns Makoka Brothers Home After ICE Detention
TL;DR Summary
Two Congolese teens, Israel (18) and Max (15), detained by ICE for visa status violations after transferring schools in Mississippi, were released and returned to their host family in Diamondhead following intervention by U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker. They will pursue reinstating their student status and continue their immigration case, but deportation remains a possibility and legal aid plus community support continues to back their fight.
